Two kilograms of ground cinnamon is packaged into bags containing 38 g each. There will also be some cinnamon left over. How many bags will there be?

Respuesta :

I think about 52 bags
2 kilometers = 2,000 grams
2, 000/ 38 = 52. repeated decimal(which would be the amount leftover)
I believe the answer would be 52 bags.

Answer: 52 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's convert the kilograms to grams using a conversion factor so that we have everything in the same unit:

[tex]2kg*\frac{1000g}{1kg}=2000g[/tex]

Now, to find how many bags there will be, you simply have to divide the total amount of cinnamon by the amount that there will be in each bag:

[tex]\frac{2000}{38}=52.6315[/tex]

The whole number (52) represents the quantity of bags, and the decimals that follow represent the cinnamon left over that isn't enough to fill one more bag.
