Answer:
Patel used 0.125 lb bags
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Patel bought 2 lb bag of Trail Mix
He then poured 1/2 pound of trail mix into a bowl
1/2 × 2= 1
i.e he poured 1 lb bag of the trail mix into a bowl
Then he divide the remaining amount into bags in which each bag had 2 oz of trial mix.
Now; we knew that after he poured 1 lb bag of the trail mix into a bowl; there will be 1 lb bag remaining
So, he divide this remaining 1 lb bags into bags in which each bags contains 2 oz of the trail mix
So; what we need to find out is that , how many oz makes one lb
from the the conversion tables
16 oz = 1 lb
and it was said that each bag contain 2 oz
that implies that :
if; 16 oz = 1 lb
Then: 2 oz = x lb
16 oz * x lb = 2 oz * 1 lb
x lb = (2 oz * 1 lb )/16 oz
x lb = 0.125 lb
Thus; Patel used 0.125 lb bags
