Fill in the Blanks
There are 6 2/3 pounds of walnuts in a container, which will be divided equally into containers that hold 1 1/2 pounds. This would fill ____ and 4/9 containers.

Respuesta :

Answer: This would fill 4 and 4/9 containers.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Quantity of walnuts in a container is given by

[tex]6\frac{2}{3}=\frac{20}{3}\ pounds[/tex]

Quantity of walnuts which divided equally into containers is given by

[tex]1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\ pounds[/tex]

Now, number of containers they would fill is given by

[tex]\frac{\frac{20}{3}}{\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{20\times 2}{3\times 3}=\frac{40}{9}[/tex]

When we change it into mixed fractions we get,

[tex]\frac{40}{9}=4\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

So, blank will be filled with '4'.
