Pedro has Abadia back and can only lift 32lbs. He is going hiking and has packed his sleeping bag, two pairs of socks, and 2 bottles with 4 liters of water each. If Pedro is carrying his limit, one pair of socks weighs .8 lbs, and his sleeping bag weighs 3 lbs, how much does 1 liter of water weigh?
Pedro has a bad back and can only lift 32 lbs. He is going hiking and has packed his sleeping bag, two pairs of socks ,and 2 bottles with 4 liters of water each. If Pedro is carrying his limit, one pair of socks weighs .8 lbs, and his sleeping bag weighs 3 lbs, how much does 1 liter of water weigh?
I tried it's very late. Subtract .8 and 3 lbs from 32 lbs. then divide it by 8 liters?đ
To find out how much 1 liter of water weighs, we need to subtract the weights of Pedro's sleeping bag, two pairs of socks, and the total weight of the two bottles with 4 liters of water each from his lifting limit of 32 lbs.
First, let's calculate the weight of the socks. We know that one pair of socks weighs 0.8 lbs, so two pairs of socks would weigh 0.8 lbs x 2 = 1.6 lbs.
Next, let's determine the weight of the sleeping bag, which is given as 3 lbs.
So, the total weight of the socks and sleeping bag is 1.6 lbs + 3 lbs = 4.6 lbs.
To calculate the weight of 4 liters of water, we know that Pedro's lifting limit is 32 lbs and he has already packed 4.6 lbs. Therefore, the weight of the water is 32 lbs - 4.6 lbs = 27.4 lbs.
Finally, to find the weight of 1 liter of water, we divide the total weight of 4 liters of water by 4. So, 27.4 lbs Ă· 4 = 6.85 lbs.
Therefore, 1 liter of water weighs approximately 6.85 lbs.
