Question

This should be easy: Marcus bought 5 crates of apples. Each crate held 2.9 pounds of apples. How many pounds of apples did Marcus buy in all?​

Answer 1

14.5p

here,

lets start off by looking at the full scale problem. We already know that each crate can hold 2.9 apples at a time. We also know that we have 5 crates in total.

hence,

we would multiply
`5(2.9)=14.5` or
`5x2.9=14.5`

Answer 2

14.5

Explanation:

2.9(5)=14.5
