Answer:
14 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
Total potato grown on Pat's potato farm = 490 pound
Fraction of potato delivered to vegi stand = 3/7 of total potato
Therefore,
Potato delivered to Vegi stand in pound = 3/7 of Total potato grown
= 3/7 of 490 = 3/7 * 490
= 210
Thus, 210 pound potato is delivered to vegi stand
___________________________________________
Fraction of potato delivered to local grocery store = 2/3 of potato delivered to Vegi stand
Therefore,
Potato delivered to local grocery store in pound = 2/3 of potato delivered to Vegi stand
= 2/3 of 210 = 2/3 * 210
= 140
Thus, 140 pound potato is delivered to local grocery store.
____________________________________________________
Half of the potatoes delivered were packaged into 5 pound bags
Half of 140 pound potato is delivered to local grocery store will be
140/2 = 70 pounds.
Thus, 70 pounds potatoes were packed in 5 pound bags.
Let the the no of 5 pounds bag be x.
if one bag has 5 pound potatoes then
x bag will have 5*x = 5x pound potatoes,
but it is given that 70 pounds potatoes were packed in 5 pound bags.
thus,
5x = 70
x = 70/5 = 14
Thus, 14 bags were packed by grocery store package.
