Brett has of a pound of almonds to divide equally among 4 bags. Find the amount of almonds that will be in each bag. Explain how to write an expression and solve the problem.

Given:

1 pound of almonds

4 bags

We simply divide the 1 pound by 4. Each bag will have 1/4 pound of almond.

1 pound is also equivalent to 16 ounces. So, each bag contains 4 ounces of almonds.

We need to use a weighing scale to ensure that each bag contains the same weight of almonds.
