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

You need to get a whole so
5/6+5/6=10/6 not a whole
10/6+5/6 =15/6= not a whole
15/6 +5/6= 20/6 not a whole
20/6+5/6=25/6 not a whole
25/6+5/6=30/6
There are 5 wholes in 30/6 so 5 bags
