Answer 1

She can put a maximum of 10 boxes in the cart.

Explanation:

Given that each cart that Debbie uses to move the boxes supports a maximum of 200 pounds, and that each box that she places in the cart weighs 20 pounds, to determine the maximum number of boxes that can fit in the cart, the following calculation must be performed :

200/20 = X

20/2 = X

10 = X

Thus, she can put a maximum of 10 boxes in the cart.
