In seven days they washed 285.38 pounds of towels and 353.47 pounds of sheets. about how many pounds of laundry did they wash each day?

Answer 1

In seven days they washed a total of 638.85 pounds of laundry. This means each day they washed about 91.26 pounds of laundry.

Answer 2

total pounds of laundry = amount of sheets + amount of towels

total in 7 days = 7 times the amount for each day so the amount for each day = total for 7 days divided by 7

find 285.38 + 353.47 then divide by 7
