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

below

Step-by-step explanation: You simply need to divide the total amount of sugar (9 lbs) by the amount that you put into each bag (2/3 lb). This expression looks kind of ugly in this form, so let's instead multiply 9 by the reciprocal of 2/3, which in this case is 3/2. The reciprocal of any number is just 1 divided by the number.

answer: 38.47 is your answer

step-by-step explanation: hope i you and who ever sees this answer have a great rest of your day : )
