Question

Carlos has 5/8 pound of pumpkin seeds. He puts the seeds evenly into 20 envelopes. How much pumpkin seed is in each envelope?

Answer 1

The answer would be 32.I got 32 because 20/1 is supposed to be divided by 5/8.I got 20/1 because when you don’t have a fraction and you want to make I a fraction it’ll be 20/1 in this case for example.So then you multiply 20 and 8 equals 160.Then 1 times 5 equals 5 which also equals 160/5.Lastly you simplify it to 32.

I hope this helps.Good Luck!

Answer 2

Hello there! The answer would be 32. Here's how I solved it:
20/1 divided by 5/8:
20 x 8 = 160
1 x 5 = 5 = 160/5
Simplify: 32

Hope this helps you!
