To find out how many small bags Ryan can make from the nine 14-ounce bags of popcorn, we first need to convert the ounces to small bags.
Given that a small bag can hold 3 ounces, we can calculate the number of small bags by dividing the total number of ounces by the number of ounces in a small bag.
First, let's find the total number of ounces in the nine 14-ounce bags of popcorn:
Total ounces = 9 bags * 14 ounces/bag
Total ounces = 126 ounces
To find out how many small bags can be made, we divide the total number of ounces by the number of ounces in a small bag:
Number of small bags = Total ounces / Ounces in a small bag
Number of small bags = 126 ounces / 3 ounces/small bag
Number of small bags = 42 small bags
Therefore, Ryan can make 42 small bags of popcorn with the nine 14-ounce bags.
