Lucy bought \( \frac{28}{3} \) pounds of blueberries at the farmers' market, which she kept in 7 bags each holding an equal quantity. How many pounds of blueberries were in each bag?

To determine how many pounds of blueberries are in each bag, follow these steps: 1. **Total Blueberries Purchased:** Lucy bought \(\frac{28}{3}\) pounds of blueberries. 2. **Number of Bags:** She divided the blueberries equally into 7 bags. 3. **Amount per Bag:** To find the amount in each bag, divide the total pounds by the number of bags: \[ \text{Amount per bag} = \frac{\frac{28}{3}}{7} \] 4. **Simplify the Division:** Dividing by a whole number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal: \[ \frac{\frac{28}{3}}{7} = \frac{28}{3} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{28}{21} \] 5. **Reduce the Fraction:** Simplify \(\frac{28}{21}\) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 7: \[ \frac{28 \div 7}{21 \div 7} = \frac{4}{3} \] 6. **Final Answer:** Each bag contains \(\frac{4}{3}\) pounds of blueberries. This can also be expressed as: \[ 1 \frac{1}{3} \text{ pounds per bag} \] **Conclusion:** Each of the 7 bags contains \(\frac{4}{3}\) pounds (or \(1 \frac{1}{3}\) pounds) of blueberries.
