The local school donated canned goods to help the community kids were packed into boxes, each weighing 16.14 pound the volunteers packed nine boxes how many total pounds of food did they collect A 97.6 B 147.6 C 976 D 1,476

Answer 1

To find the total pounds of food collected, you can multiply the weight of each box by the number of boxes packed.

Each box weighs 16.14 pounds, and there are 9 boxes:

Total weight = weight of one box × number of boxes Total weight = 16.14 pounds/box × 9 boxes

Total weight = 145.26 pounds

Since 145.26 is not one of the options provided, it seems that there may be a mistake in the options. The closest option in terms of similar numerical values could potentially be construed if rounding or approximating was involved, but none reflect the correct calculation. The answer is 145.26 pounds.
