Question

Patricia is making homemade snacks. Each snack requires 2.25 cups of almonds. Patricia buys 6 cans of almonds that each contain eight 1/3 cup servings. What is the maximum number of snack bags that Patricia can make with the almonds?

Answer 1

Answer: 7

Explanation:

Patricia has 6 cans of almonds that each contain eight 1/3 cup servings, meaning that Patricia has a total of

6 cans x 8 servings x 1/3 cup = 16 cups of almonds

If she needs 2.25 cups of almonds, that would be equal to

16/2.25 = around 7.1

since you can't have a fraction of a snack bag, Patricia just has 7 snack bags.
