can you do the math?

[dancingleaf]

I had to remember/figure out how to solve for x  with fractions today.  simple math... but .......could not remember how to do this.

I watched about 10 seconds of a Youtube video and figured it out.

I was even approximately right in my answer. 

see how you do...

Aiyanna bought 1.6 Kg of  a certain type of candy.  If ten pieces of candy weighs 77 g  (or .077 Kg)  how many pieces of candy does she have?

If she has 200 treat bags how many pieces of candy should she put in each bag?  Will she have enough candy?  Assuming each bag already contains 2 lollipops & two fruit chews... should she buy more candy or more treat bags or is she good?

Do you have 207 pieces of candy?

You should have gotten 207.79 pieces of candy (probably round up to 208...) and if you put 1 piece in each bag you'd have 8 pieces left over.

I is an engineer. Math is my forte... :D

If you ever have any statistics questions....
