Given :

Vanessa bought a 30 pound bag of rice she cooked 7.5 pounds of the rice she stores the rest of the rice in 4.5 pound portions.

To Find :

The maximum number of portions she stored.

Solution :

Let, number of portions she stored is n.

Amount of rice left, A = 30 - 7.5 = 22.5 pounds.

`n = (22.5)/(4.5)\\\\n = 5`

Therefore, maximum number of portions she stored is 5.
