In order to solve this exercise you need to analyze the information given:
1. The amount of trail mix Aracely has is:
[tex]3lb[/tex]
2. Those pounds are divided in 8 equal parts to put them in 8 bags.
Remember that a fraction has the following form:
[tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]
Where "a" is the numerator and "b" is the denominator. Both are Integers.
A fraction also indicates a division. Therefore, since you need to divide 3 pounds by 8, you can set up the following:
[tex]\frac{3lb}{8}=\frac{3}{8}lb[/tex]
The answer is: Option B
