Afarmer grows 196 pounds of potatoes. he sells them to a grocer who divides them into 5 pound and 2-pound bags. if the grocer uses the same number of 5 and 2-pound bags, how many bags of each did he use?

The number of the 2- pound bags is 56 and the number of the 5- pound bags is 140

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of the 2- pound bags and the 5- pound bags be n since they used the same number.

5n + 2n = 196

7n=196

n= 196/7

n= 28

Therefore the number of the 2- pound bags is 2× 28= 56

and the number if the 5- pound bags is 5×28= 140

good job you smart son of a gun you are smarter that einstein. 7

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24
