There are 20 bottles in a box. Each bottle weighs 1 3/4 pounds. How many pounds do all the bottles weigh together?
Multiply 20 and 1.75. That will be your answer.
Thx
i done have the answer yet-
To find the total weight of all the bottles, we can multiply the weight of one bottle by the number of bottles in the box.
Given that each bottle weighs 1 3/4 pounds, we can convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction.
1 3/4 can be rewritten as (1 * 4 + 3) / 4 = 7/4.
So, each bottle weighs 7/4 pounds.
Now, we can multiply the weight of one bottle (7/4 pounds) by the number of bottles in the box (20) to find the total weight:
(7/4 pounds/bottle) * (20 bottles) = 140/4 pounds.
To simplify 140/4, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 4 in this case:
(140/4) ÷ (4/4) = 35/1.
Therefore, the total weight of all the bottles together is 35 pounds.
