Question

Problem #3: How many 3/4 pound packages of sugar can be mode from 17_1/4 pounds of sugar? *

Answer 1

23 packages

Explanation:

To find the number of
`(3)/(4)` pound packages that can be made from
`17(1)/(4)` pounds, we simply divide
`17(1)/(4)` by
`(3)/(4)`.

`(17(1)/(4) )/((3)/(4) )`

=>
`((69)/(4) )/((3)/(4) )` =
`(69)/(4) * (4)/(3)` = 23

23 packages of sugar can be made.
