Question

Five ounces of pretzels are put into each bag. How many bags can be made from 22.75 pounds of pretzels?

Answer 1

72 full bags

Explanation:

A pound is 16 ounces

22.75 lbs * 16 =364 ounces

Take the total ounces and divide by the ounces per bag

364 ounces/5 ounces per bag

72.8 bags

72 full bags, 1 bag 4/5 full

Round down since the decimal is a partially filled bag

72 bags

72 full bags
