A store owner has 7.11 pounds of candy. If she puts the candy in 9 jars, how much candy will each contain?

To find out how much candy each jar will contain, we need to divide the total amount of candy by the number of jars. Given: Total amount of candy = 7.11 pounds Number of jars = 9 To find the amount of candy in each jar: \[ \text{Amount of candy in each jar} = \frac{\text{Total amount of candy}}{\text{Number of jars}} \] Let's calculate this: Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(\frac{7.11}{9}\) - step1: Convert the expressions: \(\frac{\frac{711}{100}}{9}\) - step2: Multiply by the reciprocal: \(\frac{711}{100}\times \frac{1}{9}\) - step3: Reduce the numbers: \(\frac{79}{100}\times 1\) - step4: Multiply: \(\frac{79}{100}\) The amount of candy in each jar will be 0.79 pounds.
