Question

A construction worker can lift 220 lb, while an architect can only lift 40 lb. the construction worker can lift how many times what the architect can lift?

Answer 1

You would divide two hundred twenty by forty to find this.
220/40=5.5
The construction worker can lift 5.5 times what the architect can lift.

Answer 2

5.5 times

Explanation:

We can determine a ratio the construction lifts compared to the architect by dividing their weights:

`=220/40=5.5`

The construction worker can lift 5.5 lb times for every 1 lb the architect can lift. Therefore the construction worker lifts 5.5 times more than the architect.
