Amount of candy in each bag = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] pound

Total amount of candy available = 14 pounds

We have to determine the number of bags will can be filled from 14 pounds of candy.

Number of bags of [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] pound = [tex]14 \div \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

= [tex]14 \times 3[/tex]

= 42

Therefore, 42 bags of candy each containing [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] pound can be filled from 14 pounds of candy.
