Chad buys peanuts in 2 pound bags. he repackages them into bags that hold 5/6pound of peanuts. how many 2 pound bags of peanuts should chad alan cooper buy so that he can fill the 5/6pounds bags without having any peanuts left over

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

2 : 5/6

2 * 6/5

2.4

He can fill 2.4 bags with one 2 pound bag.

Now, we just need to multiply 2.4 by a number that will make it a whole number.

We'll use guess and check.

2.4 * 2 = 4.8

2.4 * 3 = 7.2

2.4 * 4 = 9.6

2.4 * 5 = 12

12 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 have not peanuts leftover.
