Question

There are 8 and 2 over 3pounds of walnuts in a container, which will be divided equally into containers that hold 1 and 1 over 5pounds. This would fill ____ and 4 over 18containers.

Answer 1

8
`(2)/(3)` pounds of walnuts
1
`(1)/(5)` pound containers

8
`(2)/(3)` ÷ 1
`(1)/(5)` = 7
`(2)/(9)`=7
`(4)/(18)`

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Amount of Walnut in the container
`=8 (2)/(3) \text{Pounds}`

It is transferred in the container which can hold
`=1 (1)/(5) \text{Pounds}`

Total number of containers

`=\frac{\text{Volume of bigger container}}{\text{Volume of Larger Container}}\\\\=((26)/(3))/((6)/(5))\\\\=(65)/(9)\\\\=7 (2)/(9)\\\\=7 (4)/(18)`

⇒This would fill 7 and 4 over 18 containers.
