A. How many pounds of potting does
Marianne buy? 10

B. If Marianne’s father calls and says he needs 13 pounds of potting soil, will 4 more bags be enough to cover the
extra soil needed?

Is 10 the correct answer for A?
Can someone show me how to solve question "B"?

Answer 1

Yes A is correct

For B just find if 4 bags will give you 3 more pounds since you already have 10.

To do this multiply (5/8) by 4 to see how many pounds it will give you.

(5/8)*4=2.5

Four more bags Will Not cover the extra soil needed.
