Question

Harley is loading 625 bags of cement onto small pallets. Each pallet holds 5 bags. How many pallets will Harley need?

Answer 1

we know that

Each pallet holds $5$ bags

so

by proportion

Find the number of pallets needed for  $625$ bags of cement

$\frac{1}{5} \frac{pallet}{bags} =\frac{x}{625} \frac{pallets}{bags}\\ \\5*x=625\\ \\x=625/5\\ \\x=125\ pallets$

therefore

the answer is

$125\ pallets$

Answer 2

Okay so what you do is as follows:

625/5 = 125.

Therefore 125 pallets are needed for 625 bags.
