Question

Alan wants to pour 70.99 g of salt into a container, so far he has poured 41.2 g how much more salt should Alan pour?

Answer 1

Alan needs to pour 29.79 g.

Explanation:

Given the amount of salt Alan wants to pour (70.99 g) and the amount he's already poured (41.2 g), we can determine how much more he should pour by subtracting 41.2 from 70.99

Amount Alan needs to pour = 70.99 - 41.2

Amount Alan needs to pour = 29.79

Thus, given that Alan has already poured 41.2 g of salt into the container, Alan needs to pour 29.79 more g of salt for the container to have 70.99 g of salt.

Answer 2

29.79 grams

Explanation:

In order to solve this, we can subtract the amount of salt Alan has already poured from the total amount of salt he wants to pour.

This gives us the following equation:

`\sf \textsf{ Salt remaining = salt needed - salt poured}`

In this case, we have:

Salt needed = 41.2 g

Salt poured = 70.99 g

Substituting these value in above equation:

`\sf \textsf{ Salt remaining} = 70.99 g - 41.2 g`

`\sf \textsf{ Salt remaining} = 29.79 g`

Therefore, Alan needs to pour 29.79 more grams of salt into the container.
