Question

Ackson wants to divide a 0.75-pound box of trail mix into small bags. Each of the bags will hold LaTeX: \frac{1}{8}\:1 8pound of trail mix. How many bags of trail mix can Jackson fill?

Answer 1

6 bags will be filled

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of bags of trail that can be filled

From what we have in the question, each bag will hold 1/8 = 0.125

So we want 0.75 split into smaller bits of 0.125 each

The number of possible fillings will be;

0.75/0.125 = 6
