Question

Jamie divided 6 2/5 ounces of candy into equal amounts. He put the candy into containers that hold 2 2/3 ounces each. How many containers will be filled?

Answer 1

32/5. / 8/3

32/5 × 3/8= 96/40

2 16/40= 2 2/5 containers

Answer 2

`2 (2)/(5)`

Explanation:

`6 (2)/(5) / 2 (2)/(3) = 6 (2)/(5) * (3)/(8) = (32)/(5) * (3)/(8) = (96)/(40) = (12)/(5) = 2 (2)/(5)`

Greatest Common Factor: 8

** Since we are talking about containers filled, we interpret this by rounding to 2 containers filled, but if otherwise, go with the above answer.
