To get that answer Maureen takes the whole 243 ounces and put the same amount of Trail Mix in each of the 15 bags. To calculate it Maureen divide 243 into 15 (243/15) that equals 16.2. The question does not say if it is allowed to put only a whole number of ounces of Trail Mix in each bag or it is allowed to put fractions of ounces in each bag.
<u>According to that reasoning, answer has two options:</u>
<u><em>1. If Maureen can put only a whole number of ounces in each bag, there will be 3 ounces of Trail Mix left and 16 ounces in each bag. </em></u>
<u><em>2. But if it is possible to put fractions, Maureen will put 16.2 ounces in each bag and no Trail Mix left at all.
