Question

A stack of textbooks weighs 38.25 pounds. Each textbook weighs 2.25 pounds. How many textbooks are in the stack?

Answer 1

Anonymous, you are really asking the same question over and over.
38.25 lb * (1 text / 2.25 lb)
lb cancels and you are left with (38.25 / 2.25) texts

Answer 2

To find the number of textbooks in the stack, divide the total weight of the stack by the weight of each textbook:

38.25 pounds / 2.25 pounds/textbook = <<3825/225=17>>17 textbooks

There are 17 textbooks in the stack.

Answer 3

You are correct. I apologize for the redundant explanation. The correct calculation is indeed:

38.25 pounds / 2.25 pounds/textbook = 17 textbooks

Thank you for pointing that out.
