Answer:

To model the situation with an equation, we can let "x" represent the number of 5/16 pound bags Romeo divided the fudge into.

Given that Romeo had 3/4 pound of fudge left, the equation would be:

(3/4) = (5/16)x

To solve for "x," we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/16, which is 16/5:

(3/4) * (16/5) = (5/16)x * (16/5)

After simplifying, we get:

12/20 = x

Simplifying further, we have:

3/5 = x

Interpreting the quotient, we can conclude that Romeo divided the remaining fudge into 3/5 pound bags or approximately 0.6 pound bags.
