Answer:
11 3/5 containers
Equivalent to 11.6 containers
Step-by-step explanation:
Total pounds of potato salad = 14 1/2 pounds
Pounds in each container = 1 1/4 pounds
How many containers does she need?
Number of containers needed = Total pounds of potato salad / Pounds in each container
= 14 1/2 ÷ 1 1/4
= 29/2 ÷ 5/4
= 29/2 × 4/5
= (29×4) / (2×5)
= 116/10
= 11 6/10
= 11 3/5 containers
Equivalent to 11.6 containers
