If Josh has 6 bags of almonds and he plans to put 1/2 pound of almonds in each bag, we can find out how many bags he needs by dividing the total amount of almonds by the amount he wants to put in each bag.Total amount of almonds = 6 bags * (1/2 pound per bag) = 6 * (1/2) = 3 poundsSince he wants to put 1/2 pound in each bag, and he has a total of 3 pounds, he needs:3 pounds ÷ (1/2 pound per bag) = 3 ÷ (1/2) = 3 * 2 = 6 bagsSo, Josh needs 6 bags in total
