A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. Each small box of paper weighs 50 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. A total of 19 boxes of paper were shipped weighing 1280 pounds altogether. Determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped.

there are 16 oz per pound, so that 4 oz is equal to 4/16 or 1/4 pound.

Since each box contains 10 packages and each package weighs 3 lbs 4 oz which is equivalent to 3-1/4 lbs , then the weight of each box will be

(10 (3-1/4) = 32-1/2 pounds per box

The weight of 4 boxes will then be (4 boxes) (32-1/2 pounds per box) = 130 pounds.

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length
