Answer:

1 bag

Explanation:

To find the number of individual bags that Emily will need for all of the jelly beans, we can divide the total weight of the jelly beans by the weight of each bag.

The number of bags needed can be calculated as follows:

15 pounds / 34 pounds/bag = 0.44 bags

Since it is not possible to have a fraction of a bag, Emily will need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Emily will need 1 bag to hold all of the jelly beans.
