Question

There are 8 and 2 over 3pounds of walnuts in a container, which will be divided equally into containers that hold 1 and 1 over 5pounds. This would fill ____ and 4 over 18containers.

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Amount of Walnut in the container $=8 \frac{2}{3} \text{Pounds}$

It is transferred in the container which can hold $=1 \frac{1}{5} \text{Pounds}$

Total number of containers

      $=\frac{\text{Volume of bigger container}}{\text{Volume of Larger Container}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{26}{3}}{\frac{6}{5}}\\\\=\frac{65}{9}\\\\=7 \frac{2}{9}\\\\=7 \frac{4}{18}$

⇒This would fill 7 and 4 over 18 containers.

Answer 2

8 $\frac{2}{3}$ pounds of walnuts
1 $\frac{1}{5}$ pound containers 

8 $\frac{2}{3}$ ÷ 1 $\frac{1}{5}$ = 7  $\frac{2}{9}$=7  $\frac{4}{18}$
