A farmer ships pears in crates that weigh 5.2 lb each when empty. Each pear weighs 0.33 lb. The total weight of a crate filled with pears is 67.9 lb. Write a word equation you could use to find the number of pears packed in each crate.

Respuesta :

Answer:  0.33x + 5.2 = 67.9

Step-by-step explanation:

.33 is the weight per pear so you multiply that times the number of pears to get the "pear weight".  5.2 is the constant.

If you needed to find the answer: 67.9-5.2 = 62.7    

62.7/0.33 = 190

190 pears
