Total amount of trail mix which is poured into the bags = [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pounds
= [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] pounds
Total amount of trail mix in each bag = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pound
Number of bags with [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pound, which can be poured from [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pounds of trail mix
= Total amount of trail mix [tex]\div[/tex] Amount of trail mix in each bag
= [tex]\frac{9}{4} \div \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{8}{3}[/tex]
= 6 bags
Number of bags taken on a hiking trip = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of bags
= [tex]\frac{2}{3} \times 6[/tex]
= 4 bags
Now, number of bags of trail mix which are left = 6-4 = 2 bags.
Therefore, 2 bags are left.
