Answer: 2 bags

Explanation:

To determine the number of bags Clay can fill, we need to divide the total amount of the trail mix by the amount of trail mix in each bag.

First, we'll convert the amounts to a common denominator of fifths:

4/5 of a pound of trail mix is 4/5 * 5/5 = 4 fifths

2/5 of a pound is 2/5 * 5/5 = 2 fifths

Now, we can divide the total amount of trail mix by the amount in each bag:

4 fifths รท 2 fifths/bag = 2 bags

So, Clay can fill 2 bags with 2/5 of a pound of trail mix each.
