Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
in option B, you are adding the 3 pound plastic box to each cardboard box
in option A, you have 5 separate carboard packages, and one 3 pound plastic box
This [option a] is the diagram that matches the scenario given.
Think of the x's as normal numbers. Let's say the weight of each "x" is 1. [it's not I'm aware that this question is different]
if you have 5 x's, you have
1 1 1 1 1 3
<em>not </em>1+3 ; 1+3 ; 1+3 ; 1+3 ; 1+3
you would only have this if you were to add a 3 pound plastic box to each individual package
