Answer: Percy decided to weigh different numbers of pumpkins to find their weights. He put his findings in the table above (in he question) . He found a pattern in his findings, so he used it to find how many 50 pumpkins will weigh. Can you tell me what answer he got?
Explanation:
Since every 5 pumpkins is 8 pounds, we just need to divide 50 by 5, and times that number by 8 pounds to find the answer.
50/5 is 10.
10 x 8 = 80
Or, since 25 are 50 pounds, and 25 +25 = 50, you ad 40 to 40, giving you the answer 80.
The answer to my word problem is 80.
