there are ten boxes of books and lionel wants to make sure he is not exeeding the wheight limit which is 200 pounds lionel wheighs 170 pounds if each box wheighs the same amount how much can each box weigh
To find out the weight each box can weigh, we need to subtract Lionel's weight from the weight limit and then divide by the number of boxes.
Weight allowed per box = (Weight limit - Lionel's weight) / Number of boxes
Weight allowed per box = (200 pounds - 170 pounds) / 10 boxes
Weight allowed per box = 30 pounds / 10 boxes
Weight allowed per box = 3 pounds.
Therefore, each box can weigh a maximum of 3 pounds.
