    First we must find the number of bags that hold 5/6 pound and that number multiplied by 5/6 must be a whole number. For example: 5/6 * 6 = 5. Also that number must be divisible by 2 (because we have 2 pound bags of peanuts to replace). Therefore: 5/6 * 12 = 10 pounds.

    10 : 2 = 5 bags.

    Answer: Chad should buy 5 (five) 2-pound bags of peanuts so that he can fill the 5/6-pound bags without having any peanuts left over.
