A packaging factory fills 450 lb of dry dog food into bags that hold 40 lb each.

How many full bags will the factory pack?

To determine how many full bags the factory can pack, divide the total amount of dog food by the capacity of each bag:

\[
\text{Number of full bags} = \frac{450}{40} = 11.25
\]

Since the factory can only pack full bags, it will pack **11 full bags**.

4. What if the bags held 50 lb each? How many full bags could the factory pack then?
5. How many bags would be needed if the total dog food was increased to 1,000 lb?

**Tip:** When solving problems involving division, it's important to identify whether you need the exact number (including decimals) or just the whole number of items (like full bags).
