the large bag is 5/6 lb, the smaller bags will be 1/3 lb, so it should be 5/6 ÷ 1/3
[tex]\bf \cfrac{5}{6}\div \cfrac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{5}{\underset{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 6 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}\cdot \cfrac{~~\begin{matrix} 3 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}\implies 2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Answer:
5/2 or 2 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is asking "How many times does 1/3 go in 5/6"
So, we divide 5/6 by 1/3
5/6 / 1/3 = 5/6 * 1/3 = 5/6*3 = 5/2 or 2 1/2
