Answer:

part 1: Divide 5 1/4 pound by 5/8 pound

part 2: 8 bags

part 3: 2/5 of another bag

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of bags that can be filled equals total rice divided by the amount of rice per bag

=5 1/4 divided by 5/8

=(21/4)/(5/8)                   turn the mixed number into improper fraction

=(42/8)(5/8)                      common denominator

=42/5

=8.4 bags, but can only fully fill 8 bags

2/8 pounds of rice are left over after filling 8 bags, and 2/8 pounds is equal to

2/5 of another bag

(2/8)/(5/8)

=2/5                                simplify
