Connie made 1 1/3 pounds of trail mix for a hike. Is there a way connie can break up the trail mix into four equal bags without having any left over?
No the most he can have without any left overs is 3 and there would be two left over.
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Connie made pounds of trail mix for a hike = \(1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{4}{3}\)
To Find : Is there a way connie can break up the trail mix into four equal bags without having any left over?
Solution :
Since he made 4/3 pounds of trail mix
He wants to divide it in four bag
So, each bag must contain : \(\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{4}\)
= \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Thus each bag mus contain 1/3 pounds of trail mix
This is the only way connie can break up the trail mix into four equal bags without having any left over
Hence each bag must contain 1/3 pounds of trail mix .
