Question

a baker poured 8 kilograms of oats equally into 3 bags. what is the weight of each bag of oats? we can represent the remainder as \\(\frac{2}{3}\\). write the full quotient as a mixed number. \\(\

$$\begin{array}{r}2\\ \\text{r}2\\\\3\\overline{)8}\\\\-6\\\\\\hline2\\end{array}$$

\\) \\(8 \div 3 = \square \frac{\square}{\square}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify division components

Total oats: $8$ kg, bags: $3$

Step2: Find whole number quotient

$3 \times 2 = 6$, so whole part is $2$

Step3: Convert remainder to fraction

Remainder $2$, so fraction is $\frac{2}{3}$

Step4: Combine into mixed number

Whole + fraction: $2 + \frac{2}{3}$

Answer:

$8 \div 3 = 2\frac{2}{3}$
Each bag of oats weighs $2\frac{2}{3}$ kilograms.
