Question

if i have 11 1/7 cups of snack mix and i want to separate all of it into plastic bags and i put 3/7 into one bag how many bags do i need

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the given information:

Number of cups of snack mix = 11 1/7

Each bag = 3/7

The number of bags needed is given by the quotient of 11 1/7 & 3/7:

`\begin{gathered} =11(1)/(7)/(3)/(7) \\ =(78)/(7)/(3)/(7) \\ =(78)/(7)\cdot(7)/(3) \\ =26 \end{gathered}`

26 bags are needed
