Question

Chad buys peanuts in 2 pound bags. he repackages them into bags that hold 5/6 pounds of peanuts, how many 2 pound bags should Chad by so that he can fill the 5/6 pound bags without having any peanuts left over?

Answer 1

First you will need to find out 5/6 of 2.
So 2 divided by 6 = 3.
3 times 5 is 15.
2 times 15 (the 2 pound bags)=30
Chad should by 30 bags that he can fill.
Hope this helps!
