A snack food company produced 1,441 ounces of bite-size cookies. The company will put the cookies into 4-ounce bags. After filling as many bags as possible, how many ounces of cookies will be left over?

1 answer

To determine how many ounces of cookies will be left over after putting them into 4-ounce bags, we can perform the division of the total ounces of cookies by the size of each bag.

  1. Divide the total amount of cookies (1,441 ounces) by the size of each bag (4 ounces):

\[ \frac{1441}{4} \]

  1. Performing the division, we find:

\[ 1441 \div 4 = 360 \text{ R } 1 \]

This means that when 1,441 is divided by 4, 360 full bags can be filled, and there will be a remainder of 1 ounce.

Thus, the number of ounces of cookies left over after filling as many bags as possible is:

\[ \boxed{1} \]
