Question

If 4 boxes of apples weigh 75.6 1b, how much do 8.5 boxes of apples weigh?

Answer 1

8.5 boxes * (75.6 lbs / 4 boxes)

Answer 2

To determine how much 8.5 boxes of apples weigh, we can set up a proportion with the given information.

We know that 4 boxes of apples weigh 75.6 lbs.

Let's assume x is the weight of 8.5 boxes of apples.

We can set up the proportion:
4 boxes / 75.6 lbs = 8.5 boxes / x lbs

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

4 * x = 75.6 * 8.5
4x = 642.6

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 4:
x = 642.6 / 4

x = 160.65

Therefore, 8.5 boxes of apples weigh approximately 160.65 pounds.

Answer 3

8.5 boxes * (75.6 lbs / 4 boxes) = 8.5 * 18.9 = 160.65 lbs

Therefore, 8.5 boxes of apples weigh 160.65 pounds.
