Rachel has 1/2 pound of flour in a container. if the container is 2/5 full, how many pounds of flour can rachel fit in the entire container.

pound of flour can Rachel fit in entire container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Rachel has 1/2 pound of flour in a container.

Container is 2/5 full.

To find: How many pound of flour can Rachel fit in entire container.

Explanation:

                    We are given that  container full=

                     Space remaining in container=1-.

                                                                       =

             Now,  

            pound containing in =space

                                       x pound containing in = space

Now setting proportion

                =

On simplify   =

By cross multiplication: 2x*2=3*1

                                       4x=3

On dividing both side by 4 we get

                                             x= pound

Total number of pound can be fill in entire container =+

                = pound

Therefore, pound of flour can Rachel fit in entire container.
