Ryan has nine 14 ounce bags of popcorn to repackage and sell at the school fair. A small bag holds 3 ounces. How many small bags can he make?
(9 * 14) / 3 = _______ bags
25
14+3=18
18 dived by 3=51
To figure out how many small bags Ryan can make, we need to determine the total number of ounces of popcorn he has and then divide that by the number of ounces in a small bag.
Ryan has nine 14 ounce bags of popcorn, so the total number of ounces of popcorn he has is 9 * 14 = 126 ounces.
A small bag holds 3 ounces, so to find out how many small bags he can make, we divide the total number of ounces by the number of ounces in a small bag: 126 / 3 = 42.
Therefore, Ryan can make 42 small bags of popcorn.
