Answer:

The total number of apple is 20 and total weight is 100 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Addison is making caramel apples. She has [tex]2\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] bags of apples.

One full bag has 8 apples and each apple weighs 5 ounces.

Total number of apples can be calculated by multiplying number of bags with number of apples in each bags.

As in a full bag there are 8 apples, so number of apples is,

[tex]=2\dfrac{1}{2}\times 8\\\\=\dfrac{5}{2}\times 8\\\\=\dfrac{40}{2}\\\\=20[/tex]

Multiplying the total number of apple with weight of one apple will yield the total weight of the apples. So the expression will be,

[tex]=\text{Total number of apple}\times \text{Weight of one apple}[/tex]

[tex]=20\times 5\\\\=100\text{ ounces}[/tex]
