Answer: There are 0.375 pounds of p[otatoes in each serving of mashed potatoes
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount of potatoes used in mashed potatoes= 3 pounds
To make eight equal size servings of mashed potatoes, we need to divide the total amount by 8, we get
The amount of potatoes in each serving= \(\frac{3}{8}\ pounds\)
∴ The amount of potatoes in each serving= 0.375 pounds
Hence, there are 0.375 pounds of potatoes in each serving of mashed potatoes.
