Answer 2

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Connie made  pounds of trail mix for a hike = $1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{4}{3}$

To Find :  Is there a way connie can break up the trail mix into four equal bags without having any left over?

Solution :

Since he made 4/3 pounds of trail mix

He wants to divide it in four bag

So, each bag must contain : $\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{4}$

                                              = $\frac{1}{3}$

Thus each bag mus contain 1/3 pounds of trail mix

This is the only way  connie can break up the trail mix into four equal bags without having any left over

Hence each bag must contain 1/3 pounds of trail mix .
