Question

I will give brainliest to the first person to answer
Jada's teacher fills a travel bag with 4 copies of a textbook. The weight of the bag and books is 17 pounds. The empty travel bag weighs 3 pounds. Draw a tape diagram to represent the situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.5lbs

Equation: 4x+3=17

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+3=17

Were trying to find the book weight, so take away the bag's weight (3lbs) from the total (17lbs): 17-3=14

Next, there are 4 copies of textbooks... so now you divide 14 by 4

14/4 = 3.5lbs
