A restaurant uses 80 pounds of potatoes per week. The restaurant owner buys the potatoes in 10-pound bags from a local farmer. How many bags will the owner need to buy this week?
80/10 = 8 bags
8 bags
80 รท 10 = 8 bags
To find out how many bags the restaurant owner will need to buy, we can divide the total weight of potatoes required by the weight of each bag.
First, let's calculate the number of bags needed to meet the demand for potatoes:
Number of bags = Total weight of potatoes / Weight of each bag
Total weight of potatoes = 80 pounds
Weight of each bag = 10 pounds
Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:
Number of bags = 80 pounds / 10 pounds
Number of bags = 8 bags
Therefore, the restaurant owner will need to buy 8 bags of potatoes this week.
