Rajendra has enough trail mix to fill 8 bags with approximately 2 extra

14 4/5 = 14.8
1 1/2 = 1.5

14.8 / 1.5 ~ 10

Answer 2

Answer: It is enough trail mix completely fill 8 bags .

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Quantity of pounds of trail mix is given by

`14(4)/(5)\\\\=(74)/(5)\ pounds`

Quantity of pounds of trail mix he is putting them into bags is given by

`1(1)/(2)\ pounds\\\\=(3)/(2)\ pounds`

Now, we will find the number of bags,

`\text{Number of bags}=((74)/(5))/((3)/(2))\\\\\text{Number of bags}=(74* 2)/(5* 3)\\\\\text{Number of bags}=(148)/(15)\\\\\text{Number of bags}=9.867=9.9=10\ approx.`

Therefore, it can fill approximately 10 bags.

Hence, it is enough trail mix completely fill 8 bags .
