Question

A baking pantry is making packages. Each package contains 4 identical bags of flour and a 7 pound bag of sugar. The package weighs a total of 64 pounds. How much does each bag of flour way

Answer 1

The answer is 14.25 pounds.

Explanation:

If the package contains 4 bags of flour and a 7 pound bag of sugar which weighs 64 pounds in total;

• The total weight of the flour bags is 64 - 7 = 57 pounds.
• Since the flour bags are identical, they weigh the same. If we divide 57 by 4, we can find that the weight of each bag of flour is 57 / 4 = 14.25 pounds.

I hope this answer helps.
