The answer is: 2 bags can be filled, and $\dfrac{2}{5}$ pounds of granola will remain.

Here’s how it goes step by step:

We start with a large bag that holds pounds of granola. $\dfrac{12}{15}$

To determine how many bags we can fill with $\dfrac{1}{3}$ pounds of granola each, the calculation is:-

$\dfrac{12}{15}\div\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{12}{15}\times\dfrac{3}{1}=\dfrac{12}{5}\\\\=2\dfrac{2}{5}$

Therefore, it turns out we can fill 2 bags

The remaining granola ends up being $\dfrac{2}{5}$ pounds

To determine the number of bags, we simply compute the quotient, which yields:

(12 / 15 pounds) / (1 / 3 pounds) = 2.4 bags

Since bags can't be represented in decimals, only 2 bags can be filled. The remainder is 0.4 which can be expressed as:

0.4 * (1/3) = (2/5) * (1/3) = 2/15 pounds
