Question

If two club members are weightlifters and can carry 50 pounds per trip, how many trips would each member have to make?

A) 1 trip each
B) 2 trips each
C) 3 trips each
D) 4 trips each

Answer 1

Each member would need to make 2 trips. Option B is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Weight: We need to know the total weight the members need to carry. Unfortunately, the problem statement doesn't provide this information.

Therefore, let's assume the total weight is 100 pounds.

Weight per Member: We know each member can carry 50 pounds per trip.

Trips per Member: To calculate the number of trips per member, we can divide the total weight by the weight each member can carry per trip.

Number of trips per member = Total weight / Weight per member

Number of trips = 100 pounds / 50 pounds/trip

Number of trips = 2 trips

Therefore, each member would need to make 2 trips to carry the total weight.

Option B is answer.
