Answer 1

135 lbs. each

Explanation:

600 / 4 = 150, but there's 60 lbs. left, so .....

60 / 4 = 15

150 - 15 = 135 ea.

Answer 2

D. 135

Explanation:

Find how many pounds he delivered by subtracting the remaining from the total

600-60=540

So, he delivered 540 pounds. He delivered it to 4 farmers equally, so we can divide 540 by 4

540/4=135

Each farmer received 135 pounds of feed, or choice D

Hope this helps! :)
