SOLUTION

Now Jada picked

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{5}\text{ of 1pound of beries } \\ =\frac{3}{5}\times\text{1pound of beries } \\ =\frac{3}{5}\text{ pounds of beries } \end{gathered}[/tex]

She then divided this equally into 6 containers

This means

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{5}\text{ pounds of beries divided by 6} \\ =\frac{3}{5}\text{ pounds of beries divided by }\frac{6}{1} \\ =\frac{3}{5}\text{ pounds of beries}\times\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Number of beries in each container becomes

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{5}\text{ pounds of beries}\times\frac{1}{6} \\ \frac{3}{5}\times\frac{1}{6}\text{ pounds of beries} \\ \frac{3}{30} \\ =\frac{1}{10}\text{ pounds of beries } \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the answer is

[tex]\frac{1}{10}\text{ }[/tex]
