Question

Cam put 4 12/25 pounds of rice in bags that each weigh 7/25 pound. She uses 1/8 of the bags of rice. How many bags of rice are left?

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

Cam put a total of 4 12/25 pounds of rice in bags, which is equivalent to 112/25 pounds of rice.

Each bag weighs 7/25 pound, so the total number of bags of rice is:

(112/25) ÷ (7/25) = 16

Cam uses 1/8 of the bags of rice, which is:

(1/8) x 16 = 2

So Cam uses 2 bags of rice.

The number of bags of rice left is the total number of bags (16) minus the number of bags used (2):

16 - 2 = 14

Therefore, 14 bags of rice are left.
