Answer 1

1 ton is 2,000 pounds.
the bakery supplier needs 2 tons, which is equal to 4,000 pounds.

If each crate holds 8 10-pound bags, then that means each crate holds 80 pounds.

how many crates(80 pounds) are needed to fulfill the order (4,000 pounds)

4,000 ÷ 80 = 50

The supplier needs 50 crates of flour in order to fulfill the order of 2 tons.
