Sunflower seeds are sold in packages that weigh 5 1/4 ounces. If there is a supply of 357 ounces of sunflower seeds. how many packages of seed can be made?

357 / 5.25 = ?

To find out how many packages of sunflower seeds can be made from a supply of 357 ounces, we need to divide the total supply by the weight of each package.

1. Convert 5 1/4 ounces to a decimal by adding the whole number and the fraction.
5 1/4 = 5 + 1/4 = 5.25 ounces

2. Divide the total supply (357 ounces) by the weight of each package (5.25 ounces).
357 / 5.25 = 68

Therefore, 68 packages of sunflower seeds can be made from a supply of 357 ounces.

To find out how many packages of sunflower seeds can be made, we need to divide the total supply of sunflower seeds by the weight of each package.

1. Convert 5 1/4 ounces to a decimal. To do this, we can rewrite 5 1/4 as an improper fraction, which is 21/4. Divide 21 by 4 to get the decimal form: 21 ÷ 4 = 5.25 ounces.

2. Divide the total supply of sunflower seeds by the weight of each package. In this case, divide 357 ounces by 5.25 ounces:

357 ounces ÷ 5.25 ounces = 68 packages.

Therefore, we can make 68 packages of sunflower seeds from a supply of 357 ounces.
