At your gym, the bar you lift weighs 45 pounds. You add weights to the bar that are 10 pounds each. If you add 6 weights to the bar, how many pounds will you lift? show your steps.
Options:
a) 55 pounds
b) 60 pounds
c) 105 pounds
d) 330 pounds
To find the total weight you will lift, you need to calculate the weight of the bar plus the weight of the additional weights.
The bar weighs 45 pounds.
You add 6 weights that are 10 pounds each. 6 x 10 = 60 pounds.
To find the total weight, you add the weight of the bar to the weight of the additional weights.
45 + 60 = 105 pounds.
Therefore, the correct answer is option c) 105 pounds.
To find out how many pounds you will lift, you need to calculate the weight of the bar plus the additional weights.
Step 1: Calculate the weight of the additional weights.
Since each additional weight is 10 pounds and you are adding 6 weights, you can multiply: 10 pounds/weight x 6 weights = 60 pounds
Step 2: Add the weight of the bar and the additional weights together.
The weight of the bar is 45 pounds, so you can add: 45 pounds + 60 pounds = 105 pounds
Therefore, the correct answer is c) 105 pounds.
To find the answer, you need to add the weight of the bar (45 pounds) to the total weight of the added weights (6 weights * 10 pounds/weight).
Step 1: Calculate the total weight of the added weights by multiplying the weight of each weight by the number of weights added: 10 pounds/weight * 6 weights = 60 pounds.
Step 2: Add the weight of the bar (45 pounds) to the total weight of the added weights (60 pounds): 45 pounds + 60 pounds = 105 pounds.
Therefore, the correct answer is c) 105 pounds.
