Question

Candy buys 20 ounces of mixed nuts. She puts an equal amount of ounces in each of 3 bags. How many ounces of mixed nuts will be in each bag? Write the answer as a whole number and a fraction.

Answer 1

Answer:

$6\frac{2}{3}$ ounces of mixed nuts will be in each bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

unit rate is defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 6 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

Given the statement: Candy buys 20 ounces of mixed nuts. She puts an equal amount of ounces in each of 3 bags.

Total number of mixed nuts Candy buys = 20 ounces.

As she puts an equal amount of ounces in each of  the 3 bags.

Unit rate per bag = $\frac{20}{3} = 6\frac{2}{3}$ ounces.

therefore, $6\frac{2}{3}$ ounces of mixed nuts will be in each bag.
