Question

How many quarter pound 1/4 packets can a garden shop make out of 8 pounds of the plant food

Answer 1

32

Sorry, I couldn't really think of a way to explain but the best I can is by multiplying the 4 by 8 to get the answer of 32

Answer 2

32 packets.

Explanation:

We are asked to find the number of quarter pound packets can be made out of 8 pounds of the plant food.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total amount of plant food by 1/4 as:

`\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8/ (1)/(4)`

Convert to multiplication problem by flipping the 2nd fraction:

`\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8* (4)/(1)`

`\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8* 4`

`\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=32`

Therefore, 32 packets of quarter pound can be made out of 8 pounds of the plant food.
