In two bags, there would be $4\frac{2}{3}$ 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:

$\boxed {=\frac{7}{3} = 2\frac{1}{3} }$

so in each bag there is $2\frac{1}{3}$ 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:

$\boxed { = 2 \times 2\frac{1}{3} }\\\boxed { = 2 \times (2+\frac{1}{3}) }\\\boxed { = 4 + \frac{2}{3} }\\\boxed {= 4\frac{2}{3} }$

in two bags there would be $4\frac{2}{3}$ pounds of wool
