a) 48 packages of 1/4
To know how many packages of 1/4 of pound you can fit into 12 pounds, you divide 12 by 1/4.
So, 12/1/4 = 12x4 = 48
b) 24 packages of 1/2
As we did on a), to find out how many packages of 1/2 of pound you can fit into 12 pounds, you divide 12 by 1/2.
So, 12/1/2 = 12x2= 24
c) As we have 48 packages of 1/4 and 24 of 1/2, the answer is letter c.
