Answer 1

11 6/9

Explanation:

Daniel works in a market

He has large bags of potatoes that weighs 26 1/4

Daniel is going to sell them in smaller bags 9/4 pounds each

Therefore the number of smaller bags of potatoes in which Daniel would have filled can be calculated as follows

= 26 1/4 ÷ 9/4

= 105/4 ÷ 9/4

= 105/4 × 4/9

= 105/9

= 11 6/9
