Question

Arturo mixed together 1.24 pounds of pretzels 0.78 pounds of nuts 0.3 pounds of candy and two pounds of popcorn he then packaged in bags that each contain 0.27 pounds how many bags could he feel

Answer 1

16 bags. 1.24+0.78+0.30+2=4.32

4.32 divided by 0.27 = 16

Answer 2

16

Explanation:

We can add all the nuts, candy and popcorn to determine the total amount of items in the bag:

`=1.24+0.78+0.3+2=4.32`

The total weight is 4.32 pounds. If Arturo puts 0.27 pounds in each bag we can determine the number of bags by dividing the total by the pounds per bag:

`=4.32/0.27=16`

Arturo can fill 16 bags
