Answer: 8 baskets are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 6 pounds of tomatoes and 1 basket holds 6 pounds of tomatoes.

You have 21 pounds of potatoes and 1 basket holds 3 pounds of potatoes.

21/3 = 7

7 + 1 = 8

Answer:

8 stands

Step-by-step explanation:

Potatoe stands can hold 3 lb

Tomato stands can hold 6 lb

So there are 21 pounds of potatoes and 6 pounds of tomatos

we only need 1 stand for the tomatos (1 stand can hold 6 pounds of tomatoes)

to find how many stands we need for the potatoes we can divide

21 / 3 = 7

so in conclusion we need 7 stands for potatoes and 1 stand for the tomatos

8 stands in all
