Question

There are 8 and 2 over 3pounds of walnuts in a container, which will be divided equally into containers that hold 1 and 1 over 5pounds. This would fill ____ and 4 over 18containers.

Answer 1

The whole number value which gives the number of containers that can be filled is 7 containers.

Total Amount of walnut in container : $8 \frac{2}{3}$

Amount of walnut to be poured in each container : $1 \frac{1}{5}$

To obtain the number of containers that would be filled ; we divide the total amount of walnut in container by the amount of walnut poured into each container ;

This gives ;

$8 \frac{2}{3} \div 1 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{26}{3} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{130}{18} = 7 \frac{4}{18}$

Therefore, the whole number value for the number of containers that could be filled is 7.
