Lisa gatheredand shelled 12 lbs of pecans from her backyard
she is going to make 3/4 pecans for gift's.
how many
3/4 lb bags of pecans can lisa make?
To calculate the number of 3/4 lb bags of pecans Lisa can make, divide the total weight of the pecans she gathered by 3/4:
12 lbs / (3/4 lbs) = 16 bags
Therefore, Lisa can make 16 bags of pecans as gifts.
To find out how many 3/4 pound bags of pecans Lisa can make, we need to divide the total weight of pecans by 3/4.
12 lbs ÷ 3/4 lb = 12 ÷ (3/4)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal, so we have:
12 × (4/3) = (12 × 4) / 3 = 48 / 3
Simplifying the fraction gives us:
48 / 3 = 16
Therefore, Lisa can make 16 3/4 pound bags of pecans.
To find out how many 3/4 lb bags of pecans Lisa can make, we need to divide the total weight of pecans that she gathered and shelled by 3/4 lb.
So, we can start by dividing the total weight of pecans by 3/4 lb:
12 lbs / 3/4 lb
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal, which means we flip the fraction and multiply:
12 lbs * 4/3 lb
Now, let's multiply the numerators and denominators:
(12 * 4) / (1 * 3) = 48 / 3
Next, we simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3 in this case:
48 / 3 = 16
Therefore, Lisa can make 16 bags of pecans, each weighing 3/4 lb, from the 12 lbs of pecans she gathered.
