Answer:
The bucket can hold 8 of Jerry's pails full of sand.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jerry is filling his sand pail and pouring the sand into a large bucket.
Now, Jerry's pail holds [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex] i.e. [tex]\frac{11}{4}[/tex] pounds and the large bucket holds 30 pounds of sand.
Therefore, 8 of Jerry's pails full of sand holds [tex](8 \times \frac{11}{4}) = 22[/tex] pounds of sand.
Since, 22 pounds < 30 pounds
Therefore, the bucket can hold 8 of Jerry's pails full of sand. (Answer)
