Question

Write an expression for each statement: A truck has a total of a pounds of fruit which were packed in n boxes. How many pounds of fruit are in each box?

Answer 1

The answer is "
`\text{Total number of boxes} =(a)/(n \ boxes)`"

Explanation:

Total pounds carried by the vehicle are "a" pounds.

This will be spread into many boxes, each containing "n" pounds.

It implies that:

`\text{Total pounds = box number} * \text{amount of pounds from every box} \\\\a = \text{box number} * n\\\\\text{Box number} = (a)/(n \ boxes)`
