Jerrica is packing a box that can hold at no 65 pounds. She starts by putting a container in the box that weighs 26 pounds. She plans to fill the rest of the box with books each book she plays in the box weighs 1.3 pounds right and the quality for the number of books, Jerica can put in the box and describe the solutions.
To find the number of books that Jerica can put in the box, we need to subtract the weight of the container from the weight limit of the box: 65 pounds - 26 pounds = 39 pounds.
Since each book weighs 1.3 pounds, we can find the maximum number of books by dividing the weight limit by the weight of each book: 39 pounds / 1.3 pounds/book = 30 books (rounded down).
Therefore, Jerica can put a maximum of 30 books in the box, along with the 26-pound container.
