Answer 2

The  fractional part of a box remains after filling as many boxes as possible is 7/11

Given the following:

• Amount of pounds of candy factory = 30 pounds

• If the fudge is sold in ​2 1/5 pound boxes., the number of boxes that can be filled is expressed as:

Number of boxes filled = 30 ÷ 2 1/5

Number of boxes filled = 30 * 5/11

Number of boxes filled = 150/11

Number of boxes filled = 13 7/11

Hence the  fractional part of a box remains after filling as many boxes as possible is 7/11
