Question:

Vincent bought a 25-pound bag of rice. He cooked 6.25 pounds of the rice. He stored the rest of the rice in - pound portions. What is the maximum number of - pound portions he stored?

The maximum number of portion he stored is 5 portion

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Size of Rice = 25 lb

Size of Cooked Rice = 6.25 lb

Portions saved = lb

Required

Number of portion saved;

First, the size of rice after cooking needs to be calculated;

If 6.25lb of rice was cooked from a total of 25lb;

Then, the size of rice left is

Now that we have the amount left after cooking; we can simply calculate the maximum number of portions;

This is calculated by dividing size of rice left by portions of saved rice;

i.e.

Maximum number of portion = Size of rice left / Portions of saved rice

Maximum number of portion =

Convert   to mixed fraction

Maximum number of portion =

Maximum number of portion =

Rewrite expression

Maximum number of portion =

Change divide (/) sign to multiplication (*)

Maximum number of portion =

Maximum number of portion =

Maximum number of portion = 5

Hence, the maximum number of portion he stored is 5 portions
