Six people share 3/5 pound of peanuts equally. what fraction of a pound of peanuts does each person receive?

So first, I would convert 3/5 to 6/10, because it is equivalent and easier.

You can then just deduce that 1/10 would be 1/6 of 6/10, and that each person would therefore get 1/10 of a pound of peanuts.

You could also divide 3/5 by 6.

3/5 / 6 = 3/5 * 1/6

3/5 * 1/6 = 3/30

3/30 = 1/10

The decimal expansion would be .27 repeated
