Question

Mr B brought 5 pounds of purple jelly beans to school in a small. plaastic container.each container holds 6/8pounds of purple jelly beans.how many conten containers did Mr B bring to school​

Answer 1

~Hello There!~

Divide the total number of pounds by the fraction in each container:

`5/ ((6)/(8))`

This will give you:

6.66666666667

Assuming that Mr B didn't bring any partially filled containers, he would have had to bring 7 containers.

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck :)

Have A Great Day ^_^
