5. A box of energy bars contains 8 bars. The total weight of the bars is \( 10 \frac{2}{3} \) ounces. If each bar has the same weight, what is the weight of one bar? \( \begin{array}{ll}\text { A. } 11 / 3 \text { ounces } & \text { B. } 12 / 3 \text { ounces } \\ \text { C. } 22 / 3 \text { ounces } & \text { D. } 62 / 3 \text { ounces }\end{array} \)

To find the weight of one energy bar, we first convert the total weight of the bars into an improper fraction. The total weight is \( 10 \frac{2}{3} \) ounces, which equals \( \frac{32}{3} \) ounces. Now, we divide this total weight by the number of bars, which is 8: \[ \frac{32/3}{8} = \frac{32}{3} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{32}{24} = \frac{4}{3} \text{ ounces} \] Thus, the weight of one bar is \( \frac{4}{3} \) ounces. However, none of the options provided match this answer, so let's double-check the calculations. It's important to simplify fractions correctly, and always double-check your division when working with fractions to avoid miscalculations.
