Answer: \(1\frac{1}{3}\ pounds\) of pecans.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Nine friends share 12 pounds of pecans equally.
The total amount of pecans = 12 pounds
The total number of friends =9
If all friends share 12 pounds of pecans equally, then
The amount of pecans each friend has=\(12\div9\) pounds
Thus, The amount of pecans each friend has=\(\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}=1\frac{1}{3}\ pounds\)
Hence, each friend has \(1\frac{1}{3}\ pounds\) of pecans.
