Melanie had 3 pounds of dried fruit. She packed the dried fruit into bags of 3/8 pound each. How many bags of dry fruit does she pack?

8 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Melanie had 3 pounds of dried fruit and that she packed the dried fruit into bags of 3/8 pound each.

For us to get the number of bags of dry fruit does she will pack, we have to divide 3 pounds by 3/8 pounds. This will be:

= 3 ÷ (3/8)

= 3 × (8/3)

= 8

Therefore, she will pack 8 bags of dried fruit.
