Corrected Question

Garth buys 24 kilograms of candy. He then repacks the candy into small bags of 3/4 kilogram each. How many bags does he pack?

Answer:

C. 32 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Weight of Bag bought =24 kilograms

Since Garth wants to repack the candy into small bags of 3/4 kg, we simply divide 24 by 3/4 to obtain the number of small bags.

$24 \div \dfrac{3}{4}= 24 X \dfrac{4}{3}\\=32$

There will be 32 small bags of 3/4 kg.

The correct option is C.
