Question

An 80,000 kernel bag of seed corn weighs 51.8 pounds. How many kernels of corn are in 1pound?

Answer 1

1544.4 kernels of corn

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the number of kernels in 1 pound we need to divide the total number of kernels of corn by the total weight in pounds. So:

`\frac{80,000\text{ kernels of corn}}{51.8\text{ pound}}=1544.4\text{ kernels of corn per pound}`

Then, there are 1544.4 kernels of corn in 1 pound.
