Question

- A bakery received 2 shipments of

sugar, each weighing 22.56 pounds.
If the manager divided all the sugar
equally among 24 canisters, how
many pounds of sugar did the
manager put in each one?

Answer 1

1.88 pounds

Explanation:

First, find the total amount of sugar, since there were 2 shipments

= 45.12

Then, divide this by 24:

45.12/24

= 1.88

So, each canister had 1.88 pounds of sugar
