To find the amount of fruit salad in each of the six bowls, we can divide the total amount of fruit salad by the number of bowls.
Mrs. Abbott has 15 pounds of fruit salad, and she wants to put it into six equal-sized bowls.
To find the amount of fruit salad in each bowl, we can divide 15 pounds by 6.
So, each bowl would have approximately 2.5 pounds of fruit salad.
