To find out how many bags Kinsley can fill, we will divide the total amount of trail mix she made by the amount she puts into each bag.
1. Total trail mix made: ( frac{5}{6} ) pound.
2. Amount per bag: ( frac{1}{6} ) pound.
Now, we divide ( frac{5}{6} ) by ( frac{1}{6} ):
[
frac{5}{6} div frac{1}{6} = frac{5}{6} times frac{6}{1} = frac{5 times 6}{6 times 1} = frac{5}{1} = 5
]
Kinsley can fill 5 bags.
