Question

The average pumpkin weighs 6 pounds. The prize winning pumpkin weighs 324 pounds. The prize winning pumpkin weighs as much as how many average pumpkins? Show work. Thank you!

Answer 1

What we're ultimately asking here is how many times 6 goes into 324. The problem becomes a little simpler if we break 324 up into numbers that are easier to work with. 324 = 300 + 24; 6 goes into 300 50 times and 24 4 times, so 6 goes into 324 a total of 50 + 4 = 54 times.

So, the prize-winning pumpkin weighs 54 times as much.

Answer 2

The average pumpkin is= 6pounds
the winning pumpkin weighs 324 pounds
and we are supposed to get the average weight of the prize winning ,I would take 324pounds divided by 6 pounds in which I will get 56,..as my answer
