Question

Arturo mixed together 1.24 pounds of pretzels, 0.78 pounds of nuts, 0.3 pounds of candy, and 2 pounds of popcorn. He then packaged it in bags that each contained 0.27 pounds. How many bags could he fill?

Answer 1

So add up everything except the last number and then divide it by 0.27

Answer 2

Number of bags Arturo can fill = 16

Explanation:

Arturo mixed together 1.24 pounds of pretzels, 0.78 pounds of nuts, 0.3 pounds of candy, and 2 pounds of popcorn

Total pounds of mix = 1.24 + 0.78 + 0.3 + 2 = 4.32 pounds

He then packaged it in bags that each contained 0.27 pounds.

Capacity of each bag = 0.27 pounds

`\texttt{Number of bags he can fill =}\frac{\texttt{Total pounds of mix}}{\texttt{Capacity of each bag}}\\\\\texttt{Number of bags he can fill =}(4.32)/(0.27)\\\\\texttt{Number of bags he can fill =}16`

Number of bags Arturo can fill = 16
