so, three bags can be filled and 0.33 or 0.33*(1/3) =11/100 nails will be left
Step-by-step explanation:
We will get the number of bags that can be filled from 5/12 by dividing the total amount by the 1/8
Given
Total nails in bag = 5/12 pounds
The capacity of small bag = 1/8 pounds
So,
[tex]Number\ of\ bags = \frac{\frac{5}{12}}{\frac{1}{8}}\\Simplifying\\=\frac{5}{12}*\frac{8}{1}\\=\frac{40}{12}\\=3.33\ bags[/tex]
so, three bags can be filled and 0.33*(1/3) = 11/100 nails will be left
