I have 10 dozen potatoes which must be equally divided into 20 bags. How many potatoes will be in each bag?
To find the number of potatoes that will be in each bag, we need to first determine the total number of potatoes we have and then divide it by the number of bags we want to fill.
Given that you have 10 dozen potatoes, we need to convert this quantity into a more manageable form. A dozen refers to a group of 12, so 10 dozen potatoes equal 10 x 12 = 120 potatoes.
Next, we divide the total number of potatoes (120) by the number of bags we want to fill (20) to find out how many potatoes will be in each bag.
120 potatoes ÷ 20 bags = 6 potatoes per bag
Therefore, there will be 6 potatoes in each of the 20 bags.
