Question: 343
2. If one fourth of the weight of a bag of sugar is 1.25 pounds, the weight of four bags of sugar of the exact same weight can be determined by multiplying 1.25 by which of the following?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D. 4
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
The answer is E
Let x represent the value of a bag of sugar and set up an equation: x = 1.25. Multiply both sides by 4: x = 5. Thus, four of these bags weight 20 pounds. Finally, divide 20 by 1.25: to get 20, you need to multiply 1.25 by 16.
