Answer 2

Option C is the correct choice.

Explanation:

We have been given that Ellie is packaging individual soup mix bags for gifts. Each bag requires 3/4 of an ounce of seasoning mix. Ellie has 24 ounces of the mix.

To find number of soup bags that could be made from 24 ounces of the mix we will divide total amount of mix (24) by amount required for each soup mix bag (3/4).

`\text{Number of soup bags Ellie can make}=24/(3)/(4)`

Since we know that dividing by a fraction is same as multiplying by reciprocal of fraction.

`24*(4)/(3) =8*4=32`

Therefore, Ellie can make 32 soup bags.
