Question

Shay mal e 8 2/3 cups of snacks mix she puts all the snack mix into plastic bags she puts 1/3 cup of the snack mix in each bag how many plastic bags does she need

Answer 1

Answer:

She needs 26 plastic bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of cups of snacks mix = 8 2/3

Rewriting 8 2/3 we get,

Amount of snacks mix = $\frac{26}{3}$

Number of Cups in each bag = $\frac{1}{3}$

She puts all the snacks mix in plastic bags

We need to find the number of plastic bags required to put all the snacks mix

Let number of plastic bag be x.

hence we can say that Number of Cups in each bag multiplied by number of plastic bag is equal to  Amount of snacks mix.

$\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{26}{3}\\\\x= \frac{26\times3}{3\times1} =26$

Hence total number of plastic bags she needs is 26.
