Question

Adam is carrying books to the classroom for his teacher. Each books weighs 3.85 pounds. If he carries 4 books, how many pounds is Adam carrying?

Answer 1

15.4 pounds

Explanation:

If Adam is carrying `4` books that are each `3.85` pounds, the total weight would be the same as adding them all together. It would look like this:

`3.85+3.85+3.85+3.85` or, more simply put: `3.85 xx 4`.

`3.85 xx 4 = 15.4`, so Adam is carrying `15.4` pounds.
