Let us assume that it is 1/8 lb packages of fudge.

So, the question is how many 1/8 lbs of fudge can be sold from 7 pounds of fudge

Answer:

Total amount of fudge = 7 pounds

Portions of division = 1/8 pounds

So, number of packages that can be made from 7 pounds are =


(7)/((1)/(8))

=
7*8=56

Hence, 56 packages of 1/8 lbs each can be made from 7 pounds fudge.
