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

1 ton = 2000 pounds. 2 tons is 4000 pounds. 4000 divided by 10 = 400 crates
Hope this helps

50 multiply 2000 by 2 then divide by 8 x10
