Convert 2 1/2 to an improper fraction:

2 1/2 = 5/2

Divide 5/2 by 5/4 to find the number of friends if each had 5/4 pounds:

5/2 / 5/4 = 5/2 * 4/5 = 20/10 = 2 friends

Divide 2 1/2 by 5 friends to see how much each friend has:

5/2 / 5 = 5/2 * 1/5 = 5/10 = 1/2 pound each.

if each friend received 5/4 of a pound of berries. Then, number of friends will be 2.

if five friends are sharing the berries. Then,  each friend will get 1/2 pounds of berries.

Given that, total amount of berries [tex]=2\tfrac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}[/tex] pounds

If each friend get 5/4 pound ,

Then , number of friends = [tex]\frac{5}{2}\div \frac{5}{4}=\frac{5}{2}\ *\frac{4}{5}=2[/tex]

When five friends are sharing the berries

Then, each friend will get, = [tex]\frac{5}{2}\div 5=\frac{5}{2} *\frac{1}{5} =\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds
