Question

The oranges in 2,080 ounces were repackaged into 10-pound bags for resale. How many bags of oranges were there?

Answer 1

Answer:130

Explanation:

2080 ounces ÷ 16 ounces in a lb = 130lbs

Answer 2

The oranges in 2,080 ounces were repackaged into 10-pound bags for resale

First, ounces are to be converted into pounds

Since

16 ounces = 1 pound

Then

2080 ounces = x pound

This implies

`\begin{gathered} x=(2080)/(16) \\ x=130 \end{gathered}`

Hence,

2080 ounces = 130 pound

Since the oranges were repackaged into 10-pound bags

Then

The number of bags will be

`\begin{gathered} \text{Number of bags }=(130)/(10) \\ \text{Number of bags }=13 \end{gathered}`
