Question

Candy buys 20 ounces of mixed nuts. She puts an equal amount of ounces in each of 3 bags. How many ounces of mixed nuts will be in each bag? Write the answer as a whole number and a fraction.

Answer 1

`6(2)/(3)` ounces of mixed nuts will be in each bag.

Explanation:

unit rate is defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 6 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

Given the statement: Candy buys 20 ounces of mixed nuts. She puts an equal amount of ounces in each of 3 bags.

Total number of mixed nuts Candy buys = 20 ounces.

As she puts an equal amount of ounces in each of the 3 bags.

Unit rate per bag =
`(20)/(3) = 6(2)/(3)` ounces.

therefore,
`6(2)/(3)` ounces of mixed nuts will be in each bag.
