Question

Bill wants to include 3/10 of a pound of chocolate and each of the Christmas party gift bags bill has 36/15 pounds of chocolate how many gift bags can he make

Answer 1

answer: 8 bags

explanation:
to solve the problem you use the part over whole equation.
so the 3/10 pounds is the part and 36/15 is the whole.

divide 36/15 by 3/10

in order to divide, you change the sign and flip the second fraction.

so
36/15 x 10/3 = 360/45
simplify to get = 8

bill can make 8 gift bags
