Answer 1

Answer:

150 containers can be filled with 60 pounds of blueberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

• Each container is for 2/5 pounds.
• The total number is 60 pounds.

To find the number of containers that can be filled with 60 founds, we can use the following expression

$\frac{2}{5} c=60$

Where $c$ is containers. Solving for $c$

$c=\frac{60(5)}{2}\\ c=\frac{300}{2}\\ c=150$

Therefore, 150 containers can be filled with 60 pounds of blueberries.

Answer 2

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, multiply 60 by 2/5.

[Note: 60 can be written as 60/1]

60/1 x 2/5

Multiply the numerators:

60 x 2 = 120

Multiply the denominators:

1 x 5 = 5

Now simplify:

120/5 = 24

So, the correct answer is 24. I hope this helps! :)
