Question

Aaron buys 5 pounds of potatoes. He divides the potatoes into 1/6 pound portions for dinner. How many portions does Aaron have?

Answer 1

In one pound, there are 6 portions of 1/6 pounds each one of them because

`1\text{pound}=(6)/(6)\text{pound}`

Therefore, in five pounds there are 30 portions of 1/6 pounds each one of them because

`5\text{pounds}=(30)/(6)\text{pounds}`

How many portions does Aaron have? ​He has 30 portions.
