Question

How many quarter pound 1/4 packets can a garden shop make out of 8 pounds of the plant food

Answer 1

32

Sorry, I couldn't really think of a way to explain but the best I can is by multiplying the 4 by 8 to get the answer of 32

Answer 2

Answer:

32 packets.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the number of quarter pound packets can be made out of 8 pounds of the plant food.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total amount of plant food by 1/4 as:

$\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8\div \frac{1}{4}$

Convert to multiplication problem by flipping the 2nd fraction:

$\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8\times \frac{4}{1}$

$\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8\times 4$

$\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=32$

Therefore, 32 packets of quarter pound can be made out of 8 pounds of the plant food.
