Question

Elise's big brother works at Amazon and used 675 pounds of packing material to ship 450 packages. At this rate, how many pounds of packing material were needed to ship each package?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Each package will weigh about 1.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

• 450 packages = 675 pounds
• => 1 package = 675/450
• => 1 package = 675 ÷ 25/450 ÷ 25
• => 1 package = 27/18
• => 1 package = 27 ÷ 9/18 ÷ 9
• => 1 package = 3/2 pounds
• => 1 package = 1.5 pounds

Conclusion:

Therefore, each package will weigh about 1.5 pounds.
