Question

Cassandra must share 10 1/2 kg of cookies in 3/4 kg bags. How many bags will she complete?

Show the work.

Answer 1

She will complete 14 bags of cookies

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of bags to be completed by the sharing

What we have to do here is to divide the total weight of the bag of cookies by what each cookie bag can take

We have this as;

10 1/2 kg divided by 3/4 kg

= 21/2 divided by 3/4

= 21/2 * 4/3 = 14 bags
