Question

Madison freezes 5 pounds of green beans in plastic bags each bag holds 3/4 pound. how many bags of green beans will madison freeze?

Answer 1

We need to divide 5 pounds of green beans into 3/4 pound bags. Therefore, we need to divide:

 

5 / (³/₄)

5 * (⁴/₃)

²⁰/₃ = 6 ²/₃

 

Therefore, 7 bags are needed.
