Question

A truck has a total of a pounds of fruit in boxes. How many boxes are on the truck if there are n pounds of fruit in each box?

Answer 1

There are a/n pounds of fruit on the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be algebraically expressed as a/n because you put the amount/pounds of fruit over the amount of boxes.

Answer 2

Answer:
Total number of boxes = a / n boxes

Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of pounds that the truck carries is "a" pounds.
This amount is distributed in several boxes, each with "n" pounds.

This means that:
Total pounds = number of boxes * number of pounds in each box
a = number of boxes * n
number of boxes = a / n boxes

Hope this helps :)
