a person weighing 168 lb has a 7 lb backpack. If they do not want their backpack to weigh more than half their weight, and how many times can they carry if each item weighs 10 pounds each?

Respuesta :

First find half of 168 lbs
168/ 2 = 84

How many times does 10 go into 84
84/10 = 8

they can carry 8 items weighing 10lbs each
