Annie is making bags of candy to give to her 7 friends. She is putting Start Fraction 2 over 3 End Fraction of a pound of candy in each bag. How many pounds of candy will she need in order to fill all 7 bags?
A. 4 Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction pounds
B. 4 Start Fraction 2 over 3 End Fraction pounds
C. 4 Start Fraction 1 over 6 End Fraction pounds
D. 4 Start Fraction 3 over 4 End Fraction pounds
To find the total amount of candy Annie needs, we need to multiply the amount of candy in each bag by the number of bags.
2/3 pound of candy in each bag x 7 bags = 14/3 pounds of candy.
This is equivalent to 4 2/3 pounds of candy, which is closest to option B: 4 Start Fraction 2 over 3 End Fraction pounds.
