First, we need to find the total weight of the mixture of raisins and almonds. We can add the two weights together:
3 5/8 + 4 1/2 = 29/8 + 9/2 = 29/8 + 36/8 = 65/8 pounds
Next, we divide the total weight of the mixture by the weight of each bag:
(65/8) / (5/8) = 65/8 * 8/5 = 65/5 = 13 bags
Therefore, Ken makes 13 bags of the mixture.
Ken mixes 3 5/8 pounds of raisins with 4 1/2 pounds of almonds. then, he separates the mixture into bags with 5/8 pounds of the mixture in each bag.
how many bags of the mixture does ken make
