Answer:
7⅔ pounds to be shared 1⅓ per container.
For a clearer and swift understanding
Change them from Mixed NUMBERS to simple fractions
7⅔ = 23/3
1⅓ = 4/3
Now
We need to Fill 23/3 pounds of walnuts by 4/3 each into a container
Simply divide 23/3 by 4/3 to know how many walnuts that would enter
23/3 ÷ 4/3
23/3 x 3/4 = 23/4.
SO 23/4 CONTAINERS WOULD BE FILLED.
23/4 containers when converted to mixed numbers is
5¾.
This is our answer.
But Looking at the Question
5¾ has been broken to two fractions.
The Number that'll fill the blank space is 5.
Why? 5 + 9/12 = 23/4 which is the answer we got initially.
ANSWER = 5
Hope it helps tho.
I'm open to questions if there's any!
Have a great day!
