Answer:

The expression that can be used is :

Number of bags x Number of apples in a bag x Weight of 1 apple

The total weight of apples in 2 1/2 bags of apples = 100 ounces.

Explanation:

The given question is INCOMPLETE.

Addison is making caramel apples. She has 2 1/2 bags of apples. One full bag has 8 apples, and each apple weighs 5 ounces. Write an expression that could be used to find the total number of ounces of apples Addison has. Then find the total number of ounces.

Now, here the weight of 1 apple = 5 ounces

1 bag = 8 apples

Weight of 8 apples = 8 x ( weight of 1 apple) = 8 x (5 oz) = 40 oz

Total weight of 1 bag of apples = 40 oz

Now, the total bags of Apples Addison has = 2 1/2 bag

= 2 + 1/2 bag = 2. 5 bag

So, the weight of apples in 2.5 such bags = 2.5 x ( Weight in 1 bag)

= 2.5 ( 40 oz) = 100 oz

Hence, the total weight of apples in 2 1/2 bag = 100 ounces.

The expression that can be used

= Number of bags x Number of apples in a bag x Weight of 1 apple

= 2 1/2 x 8 x (5 oz)
