Question

.Ten pounds of candy were prepared for the school party.

Lollipops were 1.6-lb bags and Tootsie Bars were in 1.7-1b
bags. How many bags of each were there?​

Answer 1

There were 16 bags of lollipops and 17 of tootsie

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem it says "Ten pounds of candy" It also says that Lollipops were 1.6 pounds while tootsie bars were 1.7 pounds. Knowing this I multiplied 1.6 × 10 = 16 for the lollipops. Then I multiplied 1.7 × 10 = 17 for the tootsie bars. Therefore I came to the conclusion that there were 16 bags of lollipops and 17 bags of tootsie bars.

I'm extremely sorry if I am incorrect :(
