5 equally-sized boxes of cake mix fell off the back of Jake's truck. Together they weigh 925.98 pounds. How much does each box weigh

Answer 1

Hi!

Since they are equally-sized, we will find how much does each box weigh by dividing the total weigh by 5, like this:

925,98/5 = 185,196

Each box weighs 185,196 pounds.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

185.196 Pounds

Explanation:

5 equally-sized boxes of cake mix fell off the back of Jake's truck.

Together they weigh 925.98 pounds.

Let weight of each box be x pounds.

Total weight of 5 such boxes = 5x pounds

According to question,

5x = 925.98

`x=(925.98)/(5)`

`x=185.196` Pounds

Hence, The weight of each box would be 185.196 Pounds
