Question

the school spirit club is stuffing bags for the pep rally. they have 450 bags to fill and 1000 pieces of candy to go in those bags. how many pieces of candy can go in each bag? round to the nearest hundredth if necessary

Answer 1

Given:

The number of bags = 450 bags

The number of candies = 1000

To find the number of candies per bag, divide 1000 by 450

so, the answer is;

$\frac{1000}{450}=\frac{100}{45}=\frac{5\cdot20}{5\cdot9}=\frac{20}{9}=2.222$

Rounding to the nearest hundredth

so, the answer is:

The number of pieces of candy that can go in each bag = 2.22
