Bin I contains 1.3 pounds of rice. Parker will

begin filling the bin of rice at a rate of 0.25
pounds per scoop. Bin Il contains 15.3
pounds of rice. Julie will begin emptying the
bin at a rate of 0.15 pounds per scoop. After
how many scoops will both bins contain the
same amount of rice?
A
10
B.
140
C.
35
D. 39

Answer 1

C. 35

Explanation:

35 x .25 = 8.75

8.75 + 1.3 = 10.05

35 x .15 = 5.25

15.3 - 15.25 = 10.05

They both have 10.05 pounds of rice after 35 scoops
