Question

Chad buys peanuts in 2 pound bags. He repackages them into bags that hold 5/6 pound of peanuts. How many 2 pound bags of peanuts should Chad buy so that he can fill the 5/6 pound bags without having any peanuts left over?

Answer 1

1 bag because 1 bag carries 5/6 pounds

Answer 2

There are 3 bags without having any peanuts left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total pounds of bag = 2

New weight of bag = $\dfrac{5}{6}\ pounds$

So, Number of bags would be

$2\div \dfrac{5}{6}\\\\=2\times \dfrac{6}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{12}{5}\\\\=2\dfrac{2}{5}$

Hence, there are 3 bags without having any peanuts left over.
