Question

There are eight trail mix bags in one box Clarissa buys five boxes. She gives an equal number of bags of trail mix to four frames. How many bags of trail mix does each friend receive?

Answer 1

Clarissa buys 5 boxes of trailmix, each containing 8 bags, giving her a total of 40 bags. She gives equal amounts to 4 friends, so each friend receives 10 bags.

Explanation:

This question is about division in real-life situations. To start, we calculate the total number of trailmix bags Clarissa buys. If a box holds 8 bags, and Clarissa buys 5 boxes, she has a total of 5 * 8 = 40 bags. Clarissa gives an equal number of bags to 4 friends, so we divide the total number of bags by the number of friends. This calculates out to 40 / 4 = 10 bags per friend. So, each friend receives 10 bags of trailmix.
