To figure out how many bags Martino needs, we first need to determine the number of bags required for potatoes and onions separately.
For the potatoes:
Martino has 119 potatoes, and each bag can hold 7 potatoes. To calculate the number of bags, we divide the total number of potatoes by the number of potatoes per bag:
Number of bags for potatoes = 119 potatoes / 7 potatoes per bag
For the onions:
Martino has 135 onions, and each bag can hold 9 onions. To calculate the number of bags, we divide the total number of onions by the number of onions per bag:
Number of bags for onions = 135 onions / 9 onions per bag
Now, we need to find the smaller number of bags because Martino cannot use fractional bags. So, we take the minimum of the number of bags for potatoes and onions.
Finally, we add the number of bags for potatoes and onions to find the total number of bags Martino needs: Number of bags = Number of bags for potatoes + Number of bags for onions.
Let's calculate it.
Number of bags for potatoes = 119 potatoes / 7 potatoes per bag = 17 bags (rounded down)
Number of bags for onions = 135 onions / 9 onions per bag = 15 bags (rounded down)
The smaller number of bags is 15 bags.
Therefore, Martino needs a total of 15 + 15 = 30 bags.
potato bags ... 119 / 7 = ?
onion bags ... 135 / 9 = ?
add the results together to find the total bags
