Question

Pam baked some cupcakes for her friends. She baked 24 cupcakes. Each cupcake is 2/15 pound. If she packed 6 cupcakes in a box, what is the weight of each box

Answer 1

Each box would weigh 0.8 pounds.

How i did that:

(2/15) pounds * 6 = 0.8 pounds per box

Answer 2

Answer: Hence, Weight of each box is 0.8 pound.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of total cupcakes = 24

Number of cupcakes in each box = 6

Weight of each cupcake =
`(2)/(15)\ pound`

so, Weight of each box = Weight of 6 cupcakes

so, Weight of 6 cupcakes is given by

`6* (2)/(15)\\\\=(12)/(15)\ pound\\\\=0.8\ pound`

Hence, Weight of each box is 0.8 pound.
