Final answer:
To find out how many batches of mixed nuts snacks Myrna made, divide the number of bags she used yesterday by the number of bags required for one batch. Myrna made 5 batches of mixed nuts snacks.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many batches of mixed nuts snacks Myrna made, we need to determine the number of batches that can be made from the 8 1/3 bags of pecans she used yesterday. Since 1 2/3 bags of pecans are required for one batch, we can divide the number of bags she used (8 1/3) by the number of bags required for one batch (1 2/3).
First, convert the mixed number of bags used yesterday to an improper fraction: 8 1/3 = 25/3.
Next, divide the improper fraction by the fraction required for one batch: (25/3) ÷ (5/3) = 25/3 × 3/5 = 25/5 = 5.
Therefore, Myrna made 5 batches of mixed nuts snacks.
