Clark bought a 3.2 Ib bag of potatoes , which had 10 potatoes. How many potatoes would there be in a 10 Ib bag?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

31

Explanation:

If we assume the number of potatoes is proportional to the weight, then we can write the equation ...

n/10 = 10/3.2

n = 100/3.2 = 31.25 . . . . . . . multiply by 10

There may be 31 potatoes in a 10-lb bag.
