Answer:

15 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

She can fill 5 bags per each pound (because there are 5 [tex]\frac{1}{5}ths[/tex] per pound)

Since there are 3 pounds, and , again, each pound can fill 5 bags, she will need 15 bags.

Another way too look at it is to ask how many 1/5ths are in 3 pounds. To find this answer mathematically:

3 ÷ 1/5 = 15 because when we divide by a fraction, we need to flip it and then multiply (so 3 ÷ 1/5 is actually 3×5)
