Question

there are 5 pounds of apples in one bag make a table to show how many pounds of apples are in 6 bags. how do you know your answer is reasonable

Answer 1

okay so we know that each bag of apples is 5 pounds and if you have 6 bags that are 5 pounds each 5 x 6 = 30 so the 6 bags are 30 pounds all together

Answer 2

You can make a table like this:


If 1 bag=5 pounds
Then 6 bags must equal six times the weight of the first bag
5 times 6=30
Your answer is reasonable because 5+5+5+5+5+5=30
