Thirty copies of a textbook weigh a total of 75lb. What is the weight of each book?

Sagot :

525462

Answer:

Each book weighs 2.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

75/2.5 is 30.  Or you could also get the answer by 30* 2.5 which it would be 75. So, therefor, the answer is 2.5.

Answer:

2.5lb

Explanation:

In equation form the question is asking for x in

[tex]30(x) = 75[/tex]

Since multiplication is reversible (to be division), we can switch the equation up.

[tex]75[/tex] ÷ [tex]30 = x[/tex]

So the answer is

[tex]75[/tex] ÷ [tex]30 = 2.5[/tex]
