Answer:

[tex]Each\ Weight = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Weights = \frac{3}{4}lb[/tex]

[tex]Bananas = 3[/tex]

Required

Determine the weight of each

To do this, we simply divide the total weight by the number of bananas.

[tex]Each\ Weight = \frac{3}{4}/3[/tex]

Convert to multiplication

[tex]Each\ Weight = \frac{3}{4} * \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Each\ Weight = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Hence, each banana weighs 1/4 of a pound
