In two bags, there would be [tex]4\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pounds
Further Explanation
Baa baa black sheep had 7 pounds of wool
Separated equally into 3 bags
to find how much wool in each bag we are going to do division:
[tex]\boxed {=\frac{7}{3} = 2\frac{1}{3} }[/tex]
so in each bag there is [tex]2\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of wool.
How much wool would be in 2 bags?
we are going to find it by multiply the amount of wool in one bag by 2:
[tex]\boxed { = 2 \times 2\frac{1}{3} }\\\boxed { = 2 \times (2+\frac{1}{3}) }\\\boxed { = 4 + \frac{2}{3} }\\\boxed {= 4\frac{2}{3} }[/tex]
in two bags there would be [tex]4\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pounds of wool
