A large bag contains 12/15 pound of granola.How many 1/3 pound bags can be filled with this amoumt of granola?How much granola is left over?

Respuesta :

1/3 is 5/15 so you can fill 5/15 +5/15 (2bags) and you will have 2/15 pounds left

Answer:

2 bags filled and [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] granola left

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a large bag contains [tex]\frac{12}{15}[/tex] pounds of granola .

We have to find how many[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] bags can be filled with given amount of granola and how much left over.

Total amount of granola =[tex]\frac{12}{15}=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Amount in one bag=[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Number of bags=[tex]\frac{4}{5}\div \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Number of bags=[tex]\frac{4}{5}\times 3[/tex]

Number of bags=[tex]\frac{12}{5}=2\frac{2}{5}=2+\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, number of bags=2

Because bag number  cannot be in fraction

Amount of granola left =[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
