Question

Alan works in the dairy department at a large grocery store. He weighs different shipments of milk as they are received. The table below shows the weight of different shipments of milk received.

Milk Shipments Weight of Shipment
30 half-gallon jugs 125.1 pounds
50 half-gallon jugs 208.5 pounds
80 half-gallon jugs 333.6 pounds
90 half-gallon jugs 375.3 pounds
If a shipment was delivered that had 110 half-gallon jugs, how much would the shipment weigh?
A.
834 pounds
B.
417 pounds
C.
458.7 pounds
D.
917.4 pounds

Answer 1

The answer is C. You add 80lbs + 30lbs = 110lbs

Answer 2

To find how much each half gallon jug weighs, you do : 125.1 divided by 30 and you get 4.17

so now multiply 4.17 * 110 to get 458.7 pounds

So 110 half gallon jugs weigh 458.7 pounds

Hope This Helps :)
