Susie mixed 6 3/4 cups of popcorn with 2 1/4 cups of pretzels. She then divided the snack into bags with 7/8 cup in each. After dividing, how many bags of snack bags will Susie have?

Respuesta :

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Quantity of popcorn = [tex]6\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] cups

Quantity of pretzels=[tex]2\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] cups

In improper fraction,

Quantity of popcorn = [tex]\dfrac{6(4)+3}{4}=\dfrac{27}{4}[/tex] cups

Similarly , Quantity of pretzels= [tex]\dfrac{9}{4}[/tex]cups

Quantity of total mixture = Quantity of popcorn+ Quantity of pretzels

[tex]=\dfrac{27}{4}+\dfrac{9}{4}=\dfrac{27+9}{4}[/tex] cups

[tex]=\dfrac{36}{4}=9[/tex] cups

If she divided the snack into bags with [tex]\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex] cup in each , the number of bags  Susie will have :

Quantity of total mixture ÷ [tex]\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex]

[tex]9\div \dfrac{7}{8}= 9\times\dfrac{8}{7}=\dfrac{72}{7}\approx10[/tex]

Hence, the number of bags  Susie will have = 10
