Question

Max has 3 textbooks and 2

notebooks in his backpack. The total
weight of his backpack and its
content is 10.5 pounds. Each
textbook weighs 2.5 pounds. Each
notebook weighs 0.25 pound. What
is the weight of Max's empty
backpack?

Answer 1

Answer:2.5

Explanation:

3x2.5=7.5

2x0.25=0.5

5+0.5=8

10.5-8=2.5

I believe that is correct but you should also check it to see if you agree.

Answer 2

1 Backpack + 3 Textbooks + 2 Notebooks = 10.5 pounds
His Backpack Weighs 2.5 pounds
