My name is Pauley the Parrot and I have a dilemma. Blackbeard found a
chest full of gold and he wanted to divide it evenly among the crew. The
chest weighed 12 pounds because it was filled to the top with gold. There
are 24 crew members (including myself and Blackbeard) on the boat. I told
him that if he gave each crew member 2 lbs. of gold there would be enough
to go around. Blackbeard said that he could give each crew member { lb of
gold and there would be enough to go around.
Can you help us figure out who is correct? Make sure to explain who was
correct, and why the other person was incorrect. Maybe, I can split my
earnings with you!
Thank you!

Answer:

bh

Step-by-step explanation:
Each person would get 0.5 lb.

You’re splitting the gold between the people, but there is less gold, so you would divide the number of people by the amount of gold. You get 0.5, so each person would get 0.5 lb.
