If 265 identical boxes, each containing 24 books, weigh a total of 12,720 pounds, how much does each book weigh?

Answer 1

Hello Regan,

You can first determine the weight of each box. For that, you would divide 12,720 by 265.

Then, to find the weight of each book, take the answer from the previous statement and divide by 24. That will give you the answer you're looking for.

Recap: Divide 12,720 by 265. Then divide that answer by 24.

Cheers.
