Answer 2

Find out the how many individual bags will she need for all of the jelly beans.

To proof

Let us assume that the number of individual bags be x .

As given

`Emily\ is\ dividing\ 15\ pounds\ of\ jelly\ beans\ into\ (3)/(4)lb\ bags.`

Than the equation becomes

`(x*3)/(4) = 15`

Solving the above

`x = (4* 15)/(3)`

x = 20

Therefore the number of bags are 20 .

Option (D) is correct .

Hence proved
