cherries in a bag. Explain how you know who will have more
bags of cherries at the end.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Savita will have more bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Savita: 250 cherries, 8 cherries per bag

Gail: 350 cherries, 12 cherries per bag

Savita: 250/8 = 31.25 bags

Gail: 350/12 = 29.17 bags

Savita will have more bags since 31.25 > 29.17
