Jace has 2 2/5 pound of chocolate. He is making treat bags for his Halloween party and wants each bag to have 1/8 pound of chocolate. How many full bags can Jace make?

Respuesta :

Answer:  Jace can make 19 bags of 1/8 pound of chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 ÷ 1/8

change 2 2/5 to an improper fraction: 12/5 Then invert the divisor and multiply (multiply by the reciprocal)

12/5 × 8 = 96/5   19 full bags   (and 1/5 of 1/8 = 1/40 lb. left over  :-)
