Question

Kevin bought 4 bags of gravel to cover the bottom of his fish tank. He has 5 pounds of gravel left over. How much gravel did Kevin use to cover the bottom of the tank?

Answer 1

He used 371 pounds of gravel to cover the bottom of the tank

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the amount of gravel used by Kevin to cover the bottom of the tank.

Firstly we need to know the amount of pounds in 4 bags of gravel

There are 94 pounds in a bag

So in 4 bags, we have 94 * 4 = 376 pounds

Since he has 5 pounds left

The amount of bags used to cover the bottom of the tank will be 376-5 = 371 pounds
