rajendra has 14 4/5 pounds of trail mix he is putting them into bags out 1 1/2 pounds each does he have enough trail mix completely fill 8 bags explain why or why not
Rajendra has enough trail mix to fill 8 bags with approximately 2 extra
14 4/5 = 14.8
1 1/2 = 1.5
14.8 / 1.5 ~ 10
Answer: It is enough trail mix completely fill 8 bags .
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Quantity of pounds of trail mix is given by
\(14\frac{4}{5}\\\\=\frac{74}{5}\ pounds\)
Quantity of pounds of trail mix he is putting them into bags is given by
\(1\frac{1}{2}\ pounds\\\\=\frac{3}{2}\ pounds\)
Now, we will find the number of bags,
\(\text{Number of bags}=\frac{\frac{74}{5}}{\frac{3}{2}}\\\\\text{Number of bags}=\frac{74\times 2}{5\times 3}\\\\\text{Number of bags}=\frac{148}{15}\\\\\text{Number of bags}=9.867=9.9=10\ approx.\)
Therefore, it can fill approximately 10 bags.
Hence, it is enough trail mix completely fill 8 bags .
