Question

A hot air balloon can hold up to 300 pounds of weight. The balloon's pilot weighs 140 pounds. How many 20-pound bags or sand can also be carried by the hot air balloon?

Answer 1

8 sand bags can be carried along.

Explanation:

First you want to subtract 300-140. That subtracts the pilots weight giving you the maximum weight capacity left. (160) Then you want to divide 160 (the weight that can be carried) by 20 (the weight of the sand bags) after doing that you will get 8. And that is how i got 8 sand bags as my answer.

Answer 2

0, 5, 8
