Q. Layla made a block of scented soap which weighed 35\frac{3}{5} of a pound. She divided the soap into 33 equal pieces. How much did each piece of soap weigh?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline_____ pounds
  1. Identify total weight: Identify total weight and number of pieces.\newlineTotal weight of soap: 35\frac{3}{5} pound.\newlineNumber of pieces: 33.\newlineWe need to divide the total weight by the number of pieces to find the weight of each piece.\newlineCalculation: (35)÷3\left(\frac{3}{5}\right) \div 3
  2. Perform division: Perform the division to find the weight of each piece.\newlineCalculation: (35)÷3=35×13=315=15(\frac{3}{5}) \div 3 = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5} pound per piece.\newlineThis shows each piece weighs 15\frac{1}{5} of a pound.
