Question

Jackson wants to divide 2/5 pound box of trail mix into smal bags. Each of the bags will hold 1/10 pound of trail mix. How many bags can he fill?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x= # of bags he can fill

It is established that:

2/5 -> x # of 1/10 bags

So to find out:

`x=(2)/(5) /(1)/(10) \\\\x=(2)/(5) *(10)/(1) \\\\x=(2*10)/(5*1) \\\\x=(20)/(5) \\\\x=4`

Jackson can fill 4 bags of trail mix!

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: it should be four 4 because 2/5x2=4/10 which is 4 bags
