How many two thirds ounce packages of peanuts can be made with 8 ounces peanuts?

To find the number of two thirds ounce packages of peanuts that can be made with 8 ounces of peanuts, we need to divide the total weight of peanuts by the weight of each package.

Number of packages = Total weight of peanuts / Weight of each package

Given that the weight of each package is two thirds ounce (2/3 ounce) and the total weight of peanuts is 8 ounces, we have:

Number of packages = 8 ounces / (2/3) ounce

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of (2/3) is (3/2).

Number of packages = 8 ounces * (3/2)

Multiplying the whole numbers, we get:

Number of packages = 24 / 2

Simplifying the fraction, we find that the total number of two thirds ounce packages of peanuts that can be made is 12.

Therefore, with 8 ounces of peanuts, 12 two thirds ounce packages can be made.
