Question

Sid, Ted, and Vee each brought 9.5 pounds of grapes to a summer camp for kids. The grapes were divided equally among 20 campers. How many pounds of grapes did each camper receive? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find out how many pounds of grapes each camper received, you can divide the total weight of grapes brought by Sid, Ted, and Vee (9.5 pounds each) by the number of campers (20).

Total weight of grapes = 9.5 pounds + 9.5 pounds + 9.5 pounds = 28.5 pounds

Now, divide the total weight by the number of campers:

28.5 pounds / 20 campers = 1.425 pounds per camper

Rounded to the nearest tenth, each camper received approximately 1.4 pounds of grapes.
