Q.Bettler Elementary School was recycling thier copier paper after the students had completed worksheets. they found that when they filled the barrel with paper it weighed an avearge of 463 pounds. if they collected 16 barrels of paper during the year. what was the approximate weight of the paper?
A. Do I mulpite 463 * 16?
I mean divide
You were right the first time. Multiply.
Think about it.
One barrel weights 463 pounds. Two barrels must weight twice that amount.
463/16
So I mulpite than the answer would be 7,418??
Wait, sorry i read that question all wrong. It's asking for the total weight of the paper so
yeah multiply
463*16
