A bakery supplier receives an order for 2 tons of flour from a bakery chain. The flour is shipped in crates. Each crate holds eight 10-pound bags of flour. How many crates does the supplier need to ship to fulfill the order?

2 tons = 4000 pounds
8 x 10 = 80
4000 \ 80 = 50
The supplier needs to ship 50 crates.
Hope this helps
