There are 16 oz per 1 lb. multiply 10 by 16 (to convert your lbs into oz) =160. Then divide that by 8 (to figure out how many 8oz bags it would fill) =20 bags. Or since each bag you want to fill is half a lb multiply the number of lbs by 2, which would also give you 20 :)
In order to convert a fraction into a decimal, you can do one of two ways. I'll do the manual way, first since that's probably what your teacher would prefer.
First, find something that will multiply in the denominator that will equal 10,100,1000.
In this case, it will be 1,000.
1,000 ÷ 8 = 125.
So, you will multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 125.
3 x 1,000 = 375
8 x 125 = 1,000
Now, you have a BIG fraction of 375/1,000 but it's OKAY! Why? You're almost done.
Take your numerator of 375. Since your denominator has 3 zeros in it, you'll be moving your decimal 3 places to the right (from the imaginary decimal in front of the 3). So, we'll have 0.375.
So, your decimal of 3/8 is 0.375.

Now, for the easiest way!
You will simply divide 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375
The hypothesis (If the sidewalks are wet) of this conditional statement is true, but the conclusion (it has been raining) is false.
<h3>What is a conditional statement?</h3>
A conditional statement can be defined as a type of statement that can be written to have both a hypothesis and conclusion. This ultimately implies that, it typically has the form "if P then Q."
Where:
P and Q represent sentences.
<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>
In Science, a hypothesis is primarily considered to be a tentative or an educated guess and it can be defined as a testable explanation for an observation or a specific experimentation (scientific) problem, especially by using the "if . . . then . . . because" format..
The hypothesis (If the sidewalks are wet) of this conditional statement is true, but the conclusion (it has been raining) is false. Also, this can be proven with this counterexample "If the sidewalks are wet, then it is cause of an erosion/irrigation."
