A large bag contains 12/15 pound of granola how many 1/3 pound bags can be filled with this amount of granola how much granola is left over

TO get the number of bags, we simply get the quotient, that is:

(12 / 15 pounds) / (1 / 3 pounds) = 2.4 bags

Since bags cannot be decimal, so it can only fill 2 bags. The left over is 0.4 or:

0.4 * (1/3) = (2/5) * (1/3) = 2/15 pounds

Answer:

2 bags filled, left over is 2/15 pounds of granola
