Question

350 lbs of sugar were poured into 4 and 3/8 lb packages how many packages were filled?

Answer 1

80 bags needed to be filled.
Explanation:
You have single 4 pounds and 3/8 Oz bags.3/8 is equivalent to 0.375,so you have bags which can store 4.375 pounds.You need to fill 350 lbs,so
350/4.375=80 bags

Answer 2

No. of packages
= 350 / 4 3/8
= 350 / 35/8
= (350 x 8) / (35)
= 10 x 8
= 80

Answer 3

First thing you need to do is convert the fraction from a complex to a simple fraction.

4 and 3/8 = 35/8.

(To do this, multiply the whole number by the denominator, and add that to the numerator. 4*8 = 32, plus 3 = 35).

Now divide 350 by 35/8.

When you divide fractions, remember, you are really just multiplying by the inverse of the divisor (inverse means flipped version).

350 divided by 35/8 is the same as 350 times 8/35.

That gives you 2800/35.

Now reduce:

2800/35 = 400/5 = 80.


So you had to fill 80 bags.

Answer 4

total weight of 1 set package = 4+3/8 lb =35/8 lb

to fill 35/8 lb you require 1 set pf package
to fill 350 lb you require 350/(35/8) set of packages
=80 set of packages

80 packages of 4lb & 80 packages of 3/8 lb are required

Answer 5

350 / (35/8) = 350 x 8/35 = 80

Answer 6

4 3/8 = 35/8

350 / (35/8) = 350 * 8/35 = 80

80 packages were filled.

Answer 7

35 div by 8 = 4 3/8

350 div by 8 = 43 remainder 6

Answer 8

80


350 divided by 4.375 (same as 4 and 3\8) equals 80

Answer 9

answer is 80

350 divided by 4.375 or 4 3/8

Answer 10

350/4.375 = 80
