To find out how many ounces of corn chips will be left over after filling 7-ounce bags, we need to perform a division of the total ounces of corn chips by the size of each bag.
-
Calculate the number of complete bags that can be filled: \[ \text{Number of bags} = \frac{5,970 \text{ ounces}}{7 \text{ ounces/bag}} \approx 852.8571 \] Since we can only fill whole bags, we take the integer part: \[ \text{Number of complete bags} = 852 \]
-
Calculate the total ounces used for these bags: \[ \text{Total ounces used} = 852 \text{ bags} \times 7 \text{ ounces/bag} = 5,964 \text{ ounces} \]
-
Calculate the remainder (leftover ounces): \[ \text{Leftover ounces} = 5,970 \text{ ounces} - 5,964 \text{ ounces} = 6 \text{ ounces} \]
Thus, after filling as many bags as possible, there will be 6 ounces of corn chips left over.
