Question

I Need to know a or b is the answer to this question

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

in option B, you are adding the 3 pound plastic box to each cardboard box

in option A, you have 5 separate carboard packages, and one 3 pound plastic box

This [option a] is the diagram that matches the scenario given.

Think of the x's as normal numbers. Let's say the weight of each "x" is 1. [it's not I'm aware that this question is different]

if you have 5 x's, you have

1 1 1 1 1 3

not 1+3 ; 1+3 ; 1+3 ; 1+3 ; 1+3

you would only have this if you were to add a 3 pound plastic box to each individual package
