Question

You have 23 pound of cheese. You split up the cheese into 4 containers so each container weighs the same. Which of these statements is true? Each container has 14 pound of cheese. 23 pound is 4 times as heavy as each container of cheese. 4×23 equals the amount of cheese in each container. Each container has 13 of the cheese.

Answer 1

23 pounds is 4 times as heavy as each container. Since 23 is divided by four containers...there is 5.75 pounds of cheese in container. 5.75 multiplied by 4 is 23.
