Brandon mixed 6.83 lb of cashews with 3.57 lb of pistachios. After filling 6 bags of the same size with the mixture, he had 0.35 lb left. What is the weight of each bag? Use a tape diagram.

Not sure what a tape diagram is but i can solve and explain for you.... weight in total = 6.83 + 3.57 = 10.4 lb x = weight for one bag 6x = weight for all 6 bags
Then form an equation that will allow you to work out x
6x + 0.35 = 10.4 subtract 0.35 from both sides 6x = 10.05 then divide both sides by 6 to get x on its own x = 1.675 one bag weighs 1.675 lb
