OpenStudy (steve816):

Correct!

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

You are correct. But I can provide an explanation if you'd like :)

6/30=.2 .2=1/5 u may jamie

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

so if we're looking for a ratio of bags to weight, look at the information that the problem gives us. 6 bags, 30 pounds. so immediately, we know that we have a ratio that looks like this: 6:30

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Correct! because every 1 bag is = to 5 pounds. 5x6 = 30

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

but this is luckily quite easy, because 6 divides right into 30. because 6*5=30 so effectively, we can say that \(\Large\frac{6}{30}\)=\(\Large\frac{1}{5}\)
