Question

30. A box weighing 30 kilograms contains several

student math books and one teacher's edition.
If each student book weighs 2.3 kilograms, the
teacher's edition weighs 4.3 kilograms, and the
box weighs 0.4 kilograms when empty, how
many student books are in the box?
A. 7
B. 11
C. 15
D. 23

Answer 1

Explanation:

30 kg - 4.3 kg = 25.7 kg

25.7 kg - 0.4 kg = 25.3 kg

25.3/2.3 = 11

There are 11 student books in the box.
