Why use 分 in this question?


I have come across the following sentence :

> そのダンボールゴミに出す分ですか？

I understand it means something like "Are you throwing out this cardbox?". But
what does 分 mean in this context and why is it at that position in the
sentence?




> そのダンボ－ルはゴミに出す **分** ですか？  
>  Is that cardboard box **the part** you are putting out with the rubbish?

分 here means "part". Another example:

> これは亜美ちゃんにあげる分だ。  
>  This is the part I am giving to Abi. _or_  
>  This is what I am giving to Abi. _or_  
>  This is Abi's share.




> そのダンボ－ルはゴミに出す **分** ですか？  
>  Is that cardboard box **the part** you are putting out with the rubbish?

分 here means "part". Another example:

> これは亜美ちゃんにあげる分だ。  
>  This is the part I am giving to Abi. _or_  
>  This is what I am giving to Abi. _or_  
>  This is Abi's share.
