Question

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

Answer 1

Jackson will fill 4 bags of trail mix

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

2/5 pound = 0.4 pounds total

If each bag is to contain 1/10 of a pound (1/10 = 0.1) of trail mix then 0.4 pounds = 0.4/0.1 = 4 bags.
