Question

Twenty pounds of beans are distributed equally into 16 bags to give out at the food bank. How many pounds of beans are in each bag? Enter your answer in the simplest form. There are pounds of beans in each bag.

Answer 1

Answer: 1¼ pounds

Explanation:

Since 20 pounds of beans are distributed equally into 16 bags to give out at the food bank, the amount of pounds of beans that are in each bag will be gotten by dividing 20 by 16 which will be:

= 20 pounds / 16

= 1¼ pounds

Therefore, there are 1¼ pounds of beans in each bag.
