A school club plans to package and sell dried fruit to raise money. The club purchased 12 containers of dried fruit, each containing 16 \frac{3}{4} pounds. What is the maximum number of individual bags of dried fruit, each containing \frac{1}{4} pounds, that can be sold from the dried fruit the club purchased?

Explanation	Calculations	Help
$We convert the mixed number weight per container into an improper fraction.$	$16 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{67}{4}$
$We calculate the total weight of dried fruit by multiplying the number of containers by the weight per container, simplifying common factors first.$	$\frac{67}{4} \times 12 = \frac{67 \times 12}{4} = 67 \times 3 = 201$	Theory & Tactics Method Card FDPR2-A Click to view full details
$We find the number of quarter-pound bags by dividing the total weight by the weight per bag.$	$\frac{201}{\frac{1}{4}} = 201 \times 4 = 804$
