Question

Omoro bought 2 2/3 pounds of takis that he is going to bring to school for lunch each day in plastic bags that carry 1/8 of a pound.how many bags can omoro fill completely ?

Answer 1

Given:

Amount of takis bought = 2⅔ pounds

Amount the plastic bag can carry = 1/8 pounds

First convert 2⅔ to a simple fraction:

2⅔ = 8/3

To find the amount of bags Omoro can fill completely, we have to divide the amount of takis bought by the amount of takis the plastic bag can carry:

(8/3) ÷ (1/8)

`\begin{gathered} =\text{ }(8)/(3)\text{ }\ast\text{ }(8)/(1) \\ =\text{ }21.3\text{ bags} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Omoro can fill approximately 21 bags completely

ANSWER:

21 bags
