1/5 pound of trail mix because 1 pound divided to/by 5 people is 1/5.

So, each person gets 1/5 pound trail mix

Shayna Hopkins · Answer 2

If there are 5 people and they have to share 1 pound of trail mix, we have to set up a division problem and solve. We first need to figure out what we are dividing by what (what the dividend is and what the divisor is). The divisor is 5 because it is those five pepole that will share the one pound. 1/5 is 0.2, meaning that each person will get 0.2 lb or 3.2 ounces of trail mix.
