Answer:
[tex]\frac{\frac{51}{8}} {\frac{3}{8}}[/tex]
17 bags.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the number of bags with weight 3/8 pound can be made from [tex]6\frac{3}{8}[/tex].
To find the number of
[tex]\text{Number of bags that can be made from available mix trail}=6\frac{3}{8}\div \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction.
[tex]\text{Number of bags that can be made from available mix trail}=\frac{51}{8}\div \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Since we know that dividing a fraction with another fraction is same as multiplying the 1st fraction with the reciprocal of 2nd fraction.
[tex]\text{Number of bags that can be made from available mix trail}=\frac{51}{8}\times \frac{8}{3}[/tex]
After cancelling out 8 from numerator and denominator we will get,
[tex]\text{Number of bags that can be made from available mix trail}=\frac{51}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of bags that can be made from available mix trail}=17[/tex]
Therefore, 17 bags each of weight 3/8 pounds can be made from [tex]6\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pounds of mix trail.
