5. Ms. Lee has 220 students in all her classes. If her classes collected 2860 pounds of food, how many meals did each student provide? Round UP to the nearest number. Note: 1.2 pounds of food equals one meal
Note:1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds

Each students provides 13 pounds of meal

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students in Ms. Lee class = 220

Total pounds of food collected = 2,860

how many meals did each student provide?

Meals provided by each student = Total pounds of food collected / total number of students

= 2,860 / 220

= 13 pounds

Each students provides 13 pounds of meal

Note: 1.2 pounds of food equals one meal

1.2 pounds : 1 meal = 13 pounds : x meals

1.2/1 = 13/x

1.2 * x = 1 * 13

1.2x = 13

x = 13 / 1.2

= 10.83 meals

Approximately 11 meals to the nearest number

Note:1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds

1 kg : 2.2 pounds = x kg : 13 pounds

1/2.2 = x / 13

1 * 13 = 2.2 * x

13 = 2.2x

x = 13/2.2

= 5.91 kilogram

Approximately x = 6 kilograms
