Answer:
32 packets.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the number of quarter pound packets can be made out of 8 pounds of the plant food.
To solve our given problem, we will divide total amount of plant food by 1/4 as:
[tex]\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8\div \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Convert to multiplication problem by flipping the 2nd fraction:
[tex]\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8\times \frac{4}{1}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8\times 4[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=32[/tex]
Therefore, 32 packets of quarter pound can be made out of 8 pounds of the plant food.
