ANSWER:
John can store the macaroni in the 6 containers he have.
SOLUTION:
Given, John has [tex]12\frac{4}{5}[/tex] ounces of macaroni salad to split among [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ounce containers.
And he has 6 containers.
First let us convert mixed fractions into improper fractions.
[tex]12 \frac{4}{5}=\frac{12 \times 5+4}{5}=\frac{64}{5}$\\$2 \frac{1}{4}=\frac{2 \times 4+1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}$[/tex]
John has to split [tex]\frac{64}{5}[/tex] ounces of macaroni into 6 containers with capacity of [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] ounces.
Then, the following condition should become true
Materials available should be less than the storage capacity.
[tex]$\frac{64}{5}<6 \times \frac{9}{4}$[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{64}{5}<3 \times \frac{9}{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{64}{5}<\frac{27}{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$64 \times 2<5 \times 27$[/tex]
128 < 135
Above condition is true.
So, materials available is less than storage space.
Hence, john can store the macaroni in the 6 containers he have.
