Question

a 9 pound bag of sugar is being split into containers that hold 2/3 of a pound. How many containers of sugar will the 9 pound bag create?

Answer 1

divide 9 by 2/3

9 / 2/3 = 9 * 3/2 = 27/2 = 13.5 containers, so 14 containers will be needed

Answer 2

2/3 goes into 9,. 9 times, so that's 9 containers,

then that'll leave 9/3 and that simplified is 4.5 containers,

next add together,. 9+4.5=13.5, you'll need 14 containers.

BRAINLIEST please ;)
