Question

Amirah volunteers at the recycling center every weekend. Last weekend, she helped sort 263 pounds of cans and bottles 668 pounds of paper. How many pounds of recyclables did she help sort in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total amount of recyclables sorted by Amirah is 931 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of cans and bottles sorted  = 263 pounds

Amount of paper sorted  =  668 pounds

So, the total amount of recyclables sorted

= amount of cans and bottle sorted + amount of paper sorted

= 263 pounds + 668 pounds

= 931 pounds

Hence, the total amount of recyclables sorted is 931 pounds.
