Question

Each canvas bag will hold exactly 5 pounds of kings tomatoes. How many bags will be necessary to hold 5 kg worth of these same tomatoes? (1 kg = 2.25 pounds)

Answer 1

1 kg = 2.25 pounds

5*2.25 = 11.25 pounds

11.25/5 = 2.25 bags

 so you would need 3 bags

Answer 2

1 kg = 2.25 lbs....so 5 kg = (5 * 2.25) = 11.25 lbs

at 5 lbs per bag.....2 full bags + 1.25 lbs in the other bag...so it would be 3 bags with 1 bag partially full or 2 bags, leaving out 1.25 lbs
