Question

Cleo shipped 9 boxes through

the mail. Each box weighed the
same. They weighed 432 pounds
altogether. 2 boxes were returned
to him. How much did the two
boxes weigh?

Answer 1

Answer: 96 pounds

Explanation:

Each box weighed the same amount, meaning you can divide 432 by 9 to find how much each box weighed.

After finding the answer (each box weighed 48 pounds), simply add the weight of 2 boxes together (48+48) to find the weight of 2 boxes.
