Question

If two of the club members were weightlifters and could carry 50 lbs 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 have to make 2 trips each.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many trips each member would have to make, we need to divide the total weight that needs to be carried by the weight each member can carry per trip.

Given that two of the club members can carry 50 lbs per trip, we can calculate:

1. Total weight to be carried: 100 lbs (50 lbs + 50 lbs)
2. Weight carried per trip: 50 lbs
3. Number of trips each member would have to make:

   Total weight to be carried divided by weight carried per trip:

   1. 100 lbs ÷ 50 lbs = 2 trips each

Therefore, each member would have to make 2 trips each (option B).
