Chad buys peanuts in 2-pound bags. He repackages them into bags that hold 5/6 pound of peanuts. How many 2-pound bags of peanuts should Chad buy so that he can fill the 5/6-pound bags without having any peanuts left over?

15 Bags.  If he buys 15 two-pound bags he will have thirty pounds of peanuts, enough to fill thirty six 5/6-pound bags without having any peanuts left over.
