5 wooden baskets.

Simply divide 1/2 pounds by 5. It can be solved using fractions or decimals.

Using fractions:
1/2 ÷ 5 → 1/2 ÷ 5/1

Rules in dividing fractions.
1) Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. 5/1 is the 2nd fraction, its reciprocal is 1/5
2) Multiply the 1st fraction with the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.

1/2 * 1/5 = 1*1 / 2*5 = 1/10

Each wooden basket will have 1/10 pounds of strawberries.

If you solve it using decimals, 

1/2 = 0.50
0.50 ÷ 5 = 0.10

0.10 is equivalent to 1/10 pounds.
