Stacey used 26 bags to store the nuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using rules of three and conversion of units.

Stacey bought 7 pounds of assorted nuts at the store.

Each pound has 16 ounces.

16*7 = 112

So she bought 112 ounces of nuts.

She used 8 ounces of nuts in a recipe.

So she stored 112-8 = 104 ounces of nuts.

She stored the rest in bags that held 4 ounces of nuts. How many bags did Stacey use to store the nuts?

1 bag - 4 ounces

x bags - 104 ounces

4x = 104

x = 104/4

x = 26

Stacey used 26 bags to store the nuts.
