Question

Jackson wants to divide a 2/5 pound box if trail mix into small bags.Each of the bags will hold 1/10 pound of trail mix.How many bags of trail mix can Jackson fill.

Answer 1

Jackson can fill 4 bags of trail mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many bags of trail mix Jackson can fill, we need to divide the total weight of the trail mix by the weight of each bag. The total weight of the trail mix is given as 2/5 pound. The weight of each bag is given as 1/10 pound. To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, we have (2/5) ÷ (1/10) = (2/5) x (10/1) = 20/5 = 4. Therefore, Jackson can fill 4 bags of trail mix.

Answer 2

Just do 2/5 divided by 1/10 than you will get you answer
