Jackson wants to divide a 3/4 pound box of trail mix I to small bags. Each of the bags will hold 1/12 pound of trail mix. How many bags of trail mix can Jackson fill?
well to make it easier i will make 3/4 equilvilent to 1/12
so 4 3= 12 so then that means i times 33=9
so 3/4=9/12
and if each bag is 1/12 pounds then Jackson can fill 9 whole bags with trail mix
Answer:
9 bags of trail mix can Jackson fill.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Jackson wants to divide a \(\frac{3}{4}\) pound box of trail mix I to small bags. Each of the bags will hold \(\frac{1}{12}\) pound of trail mix.
To find : How many bags of trail mix can Jackson fill?
Solution :
Each of the bags will hold \(\frac{1}{12}\) pound of trail mix.
Total Jackson wants to divide a \(\frac{3}{4}\) pound box of trail mix.
Number of bags trail mix can Jackson fill is
\(n=\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{12}}\)
\(n=\frac{3\times 12}{4}\)
\(n=3\times 3\)
\(n=9\)
Therefore, 9 bags of trail mix can Jackson fill.
