Answer:
3 bags per weekday
Step-by-step explanation:
Total bags of leaves at the end of the week = 26 bags
Bags of leaves she fills over the weekend = 11 bags
Bags of leaves she fills during weekdays = x bags
Total bags of leaves at the end of the week = Bags of leaves she fills over the weekend + Bags of leaves she fills during weekdays
26 = 11 + x
Subtract 11 from both sides
26 - 11 = 11 - 11 + x
15 = x
x = 15 bags
If she fills the same number of bags with leaves on each of the 5 weekdays.
how many bags she filled each weekday.
Bags she filled each weekday = Total Bags of leaves she fills during weekdays / 5 weekdays
= 15 bags / 5 weekdays
= 3 bags per weekday
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Bags filled on weekdays + bags filled on weekends = total bags filled
2. 5b + 11 = 26
3. Isolate variable (subtract 11 from both sides) = 5b=15
4. Divide both sides by 5 = 15/5 = 3
5. How many bags does Grace fill each weekday? = 3
