Answer: The snake manufacturer will be able to fill 21 packages of trail mix.
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the number of pounds(6.72) by the amount that each package/bag can filled with(0.32). Another way to think about it is divide the product by one factor and you will get the other factor.
6.72(product) ÷ 0.32(factor) = 21(factor)
Which means that if you put 6.72 pounds of trail mix into 0.32lb. bags, you will be able to fill 21 of those bags with trail mix.
To check your work, multiply both factors and you should receive the same product. A simple factor x factor = product.
0.32(factor) x 21(factor) = 6.72(product). Your original amount.
