Ashton picked 6 lb of pecans. He used 1/3 of the pecans in a soup recipe. Ashton puts the pecans that are left in 1/4 lb bags. How many bags of pecans does he have left?
Step-by-step explanation: So first we do 6/1 divided by 3/1 = 2. So now we know that 2 is 1/3 of 6. Now, we have to do 6 - 2 since he used 1/3 in a recipe, so 6 - 2 = 4. The we divide 4 by 1/4. 4/1 divided by 1/4 = 16.
