What is defined as the term addition?

Addition is a method of combining items and counting them as a single large group.

In mathematics, addition is the method of integrating two or more numbers together.

The numbers added are referred to as addends, and the result or final answer obtained after the method is referred to as the sum.

For the given question.

Multi-Step Ghandi bagged his potatoes in -

18 ten-pound bags,

16 five-pound bags,

4 twenty-five pound bags,

2 extra pounds of potatoes.

Thus, the total pounds of the potatoes are-

Total potatoes = 18×10 + 16×5 + 4×25 + 2

Total potatoes = 362

Thus, the total pounds of the potatoes Ghandi have is 362 pounds.

Answer 2

D) 362 pounds

Explanation:

To find the total weight of potatoes Ghandi has, we can add the weight of the potatoes in each type of bag:

• 18 ten-pound bags × 10 pounds/bag = 180 pounds
• 16 five-pound bags × 5 pounds/bag = 80 pounds
• 4 twenty-five pound bags × 25 pounds/bag = 100 pounds

Adding these values together, we get:

180 pounds + 80 pounds + 100 pounds

= 360 pounds

However, Ghandi has 2 pounds of potatoes left over, so the total weight of potatoes he has is 360 pounds + 2 pounds = 362 pounds.

Therefore, Ghandi has 362 pounds of potatoes.

So, Answer is D) 362 pounds
