Respuesta :

Divide the total pounds of jelly beans (5) by the amount in each bag (1/4)

[tex]5\colon\frac{1}{4}=[/tex]

5 is equal to 5/1 ( as a fraction)

[tex]\frac{5}{1}\colon\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

dividing 2 fractions is the same as multiplying by the inverse of the second fraction

[tex]\frac{5}{1}\cdot\frac{4}{1}=\frac{20}{1}=20[/tex]

answer: 20 bags
