Marco and Drew stacked boxes on a shell. Marco lifted 9 boxes and Drew lifted 14 boxes. The boxes that Drew lifted each weighed
8 lb less than the boxes Marco lifted.
Let m represent the weight of the boxes that Marco lifted,
Which expression represents the total number of pounds Drew litted?
14 (m – 8)
m - 8
112m
9 (m + 8)
If m = the weight of boxes that marco lifted, and each box that drew lifted was 8 lbs less than marcos boxes, then you would multiply the total number of boxes that drew lifted by the weight of marcos total boxes - 8 or 14(m-8)
<span>Let's start with basic definitions:
1 inch-----0.0833333 ft
If 0.375 Ft- represents 0.25 inches
then 1 foof-x inches
0.25 inches x 1 ft / 0.375 ft: 0.66666666666667 (2/3) inch
1 foot is represented by 2/3 of an inch</span>
