Answer:
1 1/2 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
given 1/8 of a bag will fill up 1/12 of a garden box, i.e.
1/8 bag ------> fills 1/12 box (rearrange this)
1/12 box ----> requires 1/8 bag
to find how many bags it takes to fill 1 box, we simply multiply both sides of this equation by 12 to get the unit rate of fill
( 1/12 ) x 12 box -----> requires (1/8) x 12 bags
1 box ------> requires 12/8 = 3/2 = 1 1/2 bags (answer)
