Chad buys peanuts in 2-pound bags. He repackages them into bags that hold 5/6 pounds of peanuts.how many 2 pound bags should Chad buy so that he he can fill the 5/6 pound bags without any leftovers Common multiple of 5,6 is 30 how 6 goes into 30 5 times equals 5?

1 large bag is 2/(5/6) = 12/5 small bags

So, 5 large bags = 12 small bags

20

To determine how many 2-pound bags Chad should buy so that he can fill the 5/6 pound bags without any leftovers, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 6.

First, let's list the multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30...

Then, let's list the multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30...

By examining the lists, we can see that the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 6 is 30. This means that Chad needs to have a total of 30 pounds of peanuts.

Since he repackages them into bags that hold 5/6 pounds of peanuts, we can divide the total pounds of peanuts (30) by the pounds in each bag (5/6) to find the number of bags Chad needs to buy.

(30) / (5/6) = 30 * (6/5) = 36

Therefore, Chad needs to buy 36 two-pound bags of peanuts so that he can fill the 5/6 pound bags without any leftovers.
