In this case, the problem shows us that we are dividing [tex]p[/tex] equally into 6 bags. This means that each bag recieves [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of [tex]p[/tex]. We can represent this by saying that each bag receives [tex]\dfrac{p}{6}[/tex] peanuts.
Now, the problem wants us to find the number of peanuts in each bag. We already found that there are [tex]\frac{p}{6}[/tex] peanuts in each bag. Substituting [tex]p = 342[/tex], we can find the number of peanuts in each bag. This would be:
[tex]\dfrac{p}{6} \Rightarrow \dfrac{342}{6} = 57[/tex]
An expression to represent the number of peanuts in each bag is [tex]\boxed{\frac{p}{6}}[/tex], which means that there is 57 peanuts in each bag.
