Question

A backer supplier receives an order for 2 tons of flour from a bakery chain. The flour is shipped in crates. Each crate holds eight 10-pound bags of flour. How many crates does the supplier need to ship to fulfill the order?

Answer 1

10 times 8 is 80 so each crate holds 80 pounds. 2000 divided by 80 is 25 crates

Answer 2

He would need a total of 50 bags because 4,000 divided by 80 per crate equals fifty crates needed.
