Question

Pat's Potato farm grew 490 ponds of potatoes. Pat delivered 3/7 of the potatoes to the vegi stand. The owner of the vegi stand delivered 2/3 of the potatoes he bought to the grocery store,witched packedged half of the potatoes that were delivered into 5 pound bags. How many 5 pound bags did the grocery store package?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Pat's Potato farm grew 490 pounds of potatoes. If Pat delivered 3/7 of the potatoes to the vegi stand, it means that the number of pounds of potatoes that pat delivered to the vergi store is

3/7 × 490 = 210 pounds

The owner of the vegi stand delivered 2/3 of the potatoes he bought to the grocery store. It means that the amount delivered to the grocery store is

2/3 × 210 = 140

If half of the delivered potatoes was packaged in bags of 5 pounds each, it means that the amount of potatoes packaged in the bags is 140/2 = 70 pounds.

The number of bags of 5 pounds that the grocery store packaged is

70/5 = 14 bags
