Diego is making a trial mix for him and his friends to take with them on a hike next week. He mixes 4 2/6 pounds of nuts, 3 3/6 pounds of peanuts, and 2 3/6 pounds of chocolate chips. How many 1/3 pound bags of trail mix can he make?

Respuesta :

Answer:

31 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets see the total number of pounds he mixed with nuts, peanuts, and chocolate chips.

[tex]4\frac{2}{6}+3\frac{3}{6}+2\frac{3}{6}\\=4\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{1}{2}+2\frac{1}{2}\\=4\frac{1}{3}+6\\=10\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

There is a total of 10 and 1/3 pounds in total. To see how many 1/3rd bag he can have, we have to divide the total by 1/3. So we have:

[tex]\frac{10\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}}\\=\frac{\frac{31}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}}\\=\frac{31}{3}*\frac{3}{1}\\=31[/tex]

So, there can be 31 bags
