b. Anna fills 4 bags.
c. Anna fills 8 bags.
d. Anna fills 20 bags.

Answer 1

Anna can fill 8 bags of cookies with 4/5 pounds of cookies when each bag holds 1/10 pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many bags Anna can fill with her cookies. Anna has 4/5 pounds of cookies, and each bag holds 1/10 pound of cookies. To find the number of bags Anna can fill, we can divide the total amount of cookies by the amount each bag can hold.

Performing the division: 4/5 ÷ 1/10 = 4/5 × 10/1 = 40/5 = 8.

So, Anna fills 8 bags of cookies. The correct answer is option c.
