Jackson wants to divide a 3/4 pound box of trail mix into small bags each of the bags will hold 112 pound of trail mix. How many bags of trailmix can jackson fill
To find out how many bags of trail mix Jackson can fill, we need to divide the total weight of the box by the weight of each bag of trail mix.
The weight of the box of trail mix is 3/4 pound.
The weight of each bag of trail mix is 1/112 pound.
To divide the weight of the box by the weight of each bag, we need to multiply the weight of the box by the reciprocal of the weight of each bag.
3/4 * (112/1) = 336/4 = 84.
Therefore, Jackson can fill 84 bags of trail mix.
To find out how many bags of trail mix Jackson can fill, we need to divide the total weight of the trail mix by the weight of each bag.
1. Convert the weight of the box of trail mix into pounds: 3/4 pound = 0.75 pound
2. Divide the weight of the box by the weight of each bag: 0.75 pound / 1/12 pound = 0.75 / 0.125 = 6
So, Jackson can fill 6 bags of trail mix.
To find out how many bags of trail mix Jackson can fill, we need to divide the total weight of the trail mix by the weight of each bag.
First, we convert the mixed numbers to fractions. The box of trail mix is 3/4 pound. We can rewrite it as 3/4 = 3 * 1/4 = 3/4.
Next, we divide the weight of the trail mix by the weight of each bag:
3/4 pound ÷ 1/12 pound/bag = (3/4) ÷ (1/12) = (3/4) * (12/1) = (3 * 12) / (4 * 1) = 36/4 = 9 bags.
Therefore, Jackson can fill 9 bags of trail mix.
