Answer 1

Answer: She can make 22 full bags.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to divide the amount of trail mix available (1 7/8) by the amount of mix required for each bag of snack (1/12)

Mathematically speaking

1 7/8 ÷ 1/12 = (1x8+7)/8 ÷ 1/12 = 15/8 ÷ 1/12 = (15 x12) / (8x1) = 180/8 =45/2=22.5

22.5 = 22 full bags

She can make 22 full bags.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer 2

for this question , you just need to divide 1 7/8 with 1/12

1 7/8 : 1/12

= 15/8 : 1/12

= 15/8 x 12/1

= 22.5 bags.

So i guess she can make around 22 full bags

hope this helps
