    First, let's find out how many 5/6 pound bags he can fill with on 2 pound bag.

    2 divided by 5/6

    2 x 6/5

    2.4

    He can fill 2.4 bags with one 2 bag.

    Now we just need to multiply 2.4 by a number that will make it a whole number. You can use the guess and check method starting with 2 to figure your answer out, but 2.4 x 5 = 12 which is a whole number.

    This means that Chad needs to buy 5 of the 2 pound bags to fill 12 of the 5/6 pound bags, and he will not have peanuts leftover
