During Candy Month the students in Mr. Thompson's class kept track of the amount of candy they ate. Each of his 19 students ate an average of 2/5 pound of candy every day. How many pounds of candy did the students eat in June?

Answer 1

June has thirty days.

w = Weight of candy that students will eat

w = 30 days ∙ 19 students ∙ 2 / 5 pound per day

w = 30 ∙ 19 ∙ 2 / 5 = 6 ∙ 5 ∙ 2 / 5 ∙ 19 = 6 ∙ 2 ∙ 19 = 228 pound
