Question

Marie uses 2.3 oz of nuts for each bag of trail mix she makes. She uses 27.6 oz of nuts in all. How many bags of trail mix does Marie make? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

We are given that each bag of trail mix consumes 2.3 oz of nuts. To know the amount of bags of trail mixes that can be made using 27.6 oz of nuts, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
2.3 oz of nuts ............> 1 bag of trail mix
27.6 oz of nuts ...........> ?? bag of trail mix

number of bags = (27.6*1) / 2.3 = 12 bags
