Karen buys 8.5 pounds of flower. She uses 2.5 pounds to bake bread. She keeps the rest of the flour in small storage bags. If each storage bag contains 2/5 pounds of flour, how many storage bags does she use?

fifteen bags. 2/5 pounds is equal to 0.4 pounds. 8.5 minus the 2.5 used to bake makes 6 pounds left over. 6 divided by 0.4 equals 15.
