Kelly buys three containers of potato salad at the deli. She brings 4/5 of the potato salad to a picnic. How many pounds of
To find out how many pounds of potato salad Kelly brought to the picnic, we need to know the total weight of the three containers of potato salad.
Let's assume that each container of potato salad weighs the same amount.
Next, we need to determine how much potato salad Kelly brought to the picnic, which is 4/5 of the total weight.
To find the weight Kelly brought, we can multiply the total weight of the potato salad by 4/5:
Weight brought = (Total weight) * (4/5)
If you have the specific weight of each container, you can substitute that value for the "Total weight" in the equation. Then, you can calculate the weight brought.
