Patel bought a 2 lb bag of Trail Mix he poured 1/2 pound of trail mix into a bowl and divided the remaining amount into bags each bag had 2 oz of Trail Mix how many bags did paddle use

Patel used 0.125 lb bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Patel bought 2 lb bag of Trail Mix

He then poured 1/2 pound of trail mix into a bowl

1/2 × 2= 1

i.e he poured 1 lb bag of the trail mix into a bowl

Then he divide the remaining amount into  bags in which each bag had 2 oz of trial mix.

Now; we knew that after he poured 1 lb bag of the trail mix into a bowl; there will be 1 lb bag remaining

So, he divide this remaining 1 lb bags into bags in which each bags contains 2 oz of the trail mix

So; what we need to find out is that , how many oz makes one lb

from the the conversion tables

16 oz = 1 lb

and it was said that each bag contain 2 oz

that implies that :

if;        16 oz = 1 lb

Then:   2 oz = x lb

16 oz * x lb = 2 oz * 1 lb

x lb = (2 oz * 1 lb )/16 oz

x lb = 0.125 lb

Thus; Patel used 0.125 lb bags

the answer for this question is 38

answer: t=3
