Question

CARTER PUTS 5/12 OF A POUND

OF BIRD SEED IN THE FEEDER. IF THE
BAG CONTAINS 8 POUNDS, HOW
MANY TIMES CAN HE FILL UP THE
DIRD FEEDER?

Answer 1

He can fill up the feeder 19 times

Explanation:

the capacity of the feeder is 5/12 lbs, and he has 8 lbs of seed. To figure out how many times he can fill it up, We need to divide the amount of seed he has by the capacity.

8 / (5/12) = (8x12)/5 = 96 / 5 = 19.2 times
