Question

Darren made 7/2 pounds of trail mix. If he puts 7/4 pounds into each bag, How many bags can darren fill?

a) 1 bag
b) 2 bags
c) 3 bags
d) 4 bags

Answer 1

Darren can fill 2 bags with the given amounts of trail mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of bags Darren can fill, we need to divide the amount of trail mix he made (7/2 pounds) by the amount he puts into each bag (7/4 pounds).

Dividing 7/2 by 7/4 is the same as multiplying 7/2 by 4/7, which gives us (7/2) * (4/7) = 28/14 = 2 bags.

Therefore, Darren can fill 2 bags with the given amounts of trail mix.
