Answer:

4 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

   First, 5 pounds is equal to 80 ounces.

   Then, when looking at the number line, we see that 80 ounces is right before "96" to represent 4 of the 24 oz bags. This means that he will need to buy 4 bags, according to the number line.

   We can also do it the mathematical way.

-> 80 ounces / 24 ounce bags = 3 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex].

   We cannot buy [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of a bag, so we round up to 4 bags.
