Final answer:
Ms. Kelly cannot make any full bags of candy with 2/12 pounds if each bag holds 1/3 pounds, since 2/12 pounds converted to 1/6 is less than 1/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks how many bags of candy Ms. Kelly can make with 2/12 pounds of candy when each bag will hold 1/3 pounds. To find the answer, we need to calculate how many 1/3 pound portions are in 2/12 pounds. We convert the fraction 2/12 to 1/6 by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 2. Now, to find out how many 1/3 pound portions are in 1/6 pounds, we divide 1/6 by 1/3, which is the same as multiplying 1/6 by the reciprocal of 1/3 (3/1). The calculation is as follows:
1/6 × 3/1 = 3/6 = 1/2
Therefore, Ms. Kelly can make 1/2 of a bag, which is not enough to make a whole bag of 1/3 pounds of candies. So, Ms. Kelly cannot make any full bags with 2/12 pounds of candy if each bag needs to have 1/3 pounds. It seems the options provided do not include a correct option for this scenario, as none of them are less than one or zero, which are the amounts that Ms. Kelly can actually make.
