Alex used his grandmother’s recipe to make

11 3/7

pounds of granola. If he fills as many bags as he can with

2 2/3

pounds of granola in each bag, how many pounds will he have left over?

Respuesta :

Answer : The granola left is, [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation :

Amount of granola used = [tex]11\frac{3}{7}=\frac{80}{7}[/tex] pounds

Amount of granola used for 1 bag = [tex]2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}[/tex] pounds

Total number of bags filled up = [tex]\frac{(\frac{80}{7})}{(\frac{8}{3})}[/tex] pounds

Total number of bags filled up = [tex]\frac{30}{7}[/tex] pounds

Total number of bags filled up = [tex]4\frac{2}{7}[/tex] pounds

This means that, 4 bags are fully filled and [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] pounds of granola left.

Hence, the granola left is, [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex]
