Question

Jackson wants to divide a 3/4 pound box of trail mix I to small bags. Each of the bags will hold 1/12 pound of trail mix. How many bags of trail mix can Jackson fill?

Answer 1

well to make it easier i will make 3/4 equilvilent to 1/12
so 4 * 3= 12 so then that means i times 3*3=9
so 3/4=9/12
and if each bag is 1/12 pounds then Jackson can fill 9 whole bags with trail mix

Answer 2

9 bags of trail mix can Jackson fill.

Explanation:

Given : Jackson wants to divide a
`(3)/(4)` pound box of trail mix I to small bags. Each of the bags will hold
`(1)/(12)` pound of trail mix.

To find : How many bags of trail mix can Jackson fill?

Solution :

Each of the bags will hold
`(1)/(12)` pound of trail mix.

Total Jackson wants to divide a
`(3)/(4)` pound box of trail mix.

Number of bags trail mix can Jackson fill is

`n=((3)/(4))/((1)/(12))`

`n=(3* 12)/(4)`

`n=3* 3`

`n=9`

Therefore, 9 bags of trail mix can Jackson fill.
