Question

Kiran has 2 & 3/4 pounds of flour. When he divides the flour into equal-sized bags, he fills 4 & 1/8 bags. How many pounds fit in each bag?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of pounds that will fit in each bag is 2/3 pounds of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the amount of pounds that will fit in each bag

What we have to do here is to divide the total number of pounds of flour, by the number of bags filled

We have this as;

2 3/4 divided by 4 1/8

This is;

11/4 divided by 33/8

= 11/4 * 8/33 = 2/3 pounds
