Question

The science club is taking a trip to a nature preserve. Before the trip, the divide 3 pounds of trail mix equally into 10 bags to have as a snack. How much trail mix went in each bag?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.03 pounds

Explanation:

To determine how much trail mix went in each bag, you need to divide the total amount of trail mix by the number of bags.

In this case, you would divide 3 pounds of trail mix by 10 bags to find that each bag contained 0.3 pounds of trail mix.

You can also express this amount in ounces. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, each bag contained 4.8 ounces of trail mix (0.3 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 4.8 ounces).
