Answer :
Given:
1 canister = [tex]\dfrac{2}{23}[/tex] sacks of sugar
1 sack = [tex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds of sugar.
To find:
The expression that can be used to solve for the number of pounds of sugar it takes to fill the canister?
Solution:
We have,
1 sack = [tex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds of sugar.
So,
[tex]\dfrac{2}{23}[/tex] sack = [tex]\dfrac{2}{23}\times \dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds of sugar.
1 canister = [tex]\dfrac{2}{23}\times \dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds of sugar.
1 canister = [tex]\dfrac{3}{46}[/tex] pounds of sugar.
Therefore, the expression [tex]\dfrac{2}{23}\times \dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] is used to solve for the number of pounds of sugar it takes to fill the canister.
