Answer: Hello, this is Bing. I can help you with your math question.

To find out how much money Justin will earn if he sells all of the granola, we need to calculate how many 23-pound bags of granola he can make from 6 pounds of granola, and then multiply that by the price of each bag.

We can use the following formula to convert pounds to bags:

bags = pounds / (23/16)

where 23/16 is the conversion factor that represents how many pounds are in one bag.

Plugging in the given values, we get:

bags = 6 / (23/16) bags = 6 * (16/23) bags = 96/23 bags ≈ 4.17

This means that Justin can make about 4.17 bags of granola from 6 pounds of granola. Since he cannot sell a fraction of a bag, we will round down to the nearest whole number and assume that he can sell 4 bags of granola.

Now, we can multiply the number of bags by the price of each bag to get the total amount of money that Justin will earn:

money = bags * price money = 4 * 6.35 money = 25.40

Therefore, Justin will earn $25.40 if he sells all of the granola.
