Q. Mark has 56\frac{5}{6} of a pound of bird seed left to share equally among 55 bird cages in his pet shop. How many pounds can he put in each bird cage?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline_____ pound
  1. Identify Amount and Cages: Step 11: Identify the total amount of bird seed and the number of bird cages.\newlineMark has 56\frac{5}{6} of a pound of bird seed. He needs to divide this equally among 55 bird cages.
  2. Calculate Seed per Cage: Step 22: Calculate the amount of bird seed per cage.\newlineTo find out how much bird seed each cage gets, divide the total amount of bird seed by the number of cages:\newline(56)÷5=56×15=530=16(\frac{5}{6}) \div 5 = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{30} = \frac{1}{6} pound per cage.
