4 bags

Work Step by Step

Set up an equation using conversion factors based on the information given. Note the way the units cancel out in the numerators and denominators. $\frac{1\ momento}{1\ guest}\times\frac{1.5\ oz}{1\ momento}\times\frac{1\ bag}{5\ lb}\times\frac{1\ lb}{16\ oz}\times 200\ guest=\frac{300}{80}\ bags=3.75\ bags$ Round up to the next full bag to have enough mints.
