Question

a motorcycle weighs about 250 pounds. a school bus weighs 25,000 pounds. how many times greater is the weight of a bus than the weight of a motorcycle?

Answer 1

The weight of a bus is 100 times greater than the weight or a motorcycle.

Explanation:

1. If a bus is greater than a motorcycle, you will multiply the weight of a motorcycle by x to obtain the weight of a bus.

2. 250·x=25000

Divide both sides by 250

x=100

3. Check your answer

100*250=25000
