Q. A diamond merchant received a shipment of 12\frac{1}{2} of a pound of diamonds. She divided the diamonds into 33 equal lots and sold them to jewelers for making rings and necklaces. What was the weight of the diamonds in each lot?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline_____ pounds
  1. Identify Total Weight: Identify the total weight of diamonds and the number of lots.\newlineTotal weight = 12\frac{1}{2} pound, Number of lots = 33.\newlineWe need to divide the total weight by the number of lots to find the weight per lot.\newlineCalculation: (12)÷3(\frac{1}{2}) \div 3
  2. Calculate Weight per Lot: Perform the division to find the weight of each lot.\newline(1/2)÷3=1/6(1/2) \div 3 = 1/6 pound.\newlineEach lot weighs 1/61/6 pound.
