Answer 1

Hello! In case you don't know, 16 ounces = 1 pound. We are talking about 5 pounds of fruit being brought. Let's convert pounds into ounces. 16 * 5 is 80. That's 80 ounces being brought. To find the amount of bags that should be taken, all you have to dis is divide the amount being brought by the amount per bag. The fruit will each be in 10 ounce bags. 80/10 is 8. There. Johannes should take 8 bags with him. The answer is B: 8.
