The total weight of the 100 cantaloupe is 324 pounds

How to determine the total weight?

The given parameters are:

  • Weight of each = 3.24 pounds
  • Number of cantaloupe = 100

Since the number of zeros in 100 is 2;

All Evans needs to do is to move the decimal point in 3.24 two places forward.

i.e. 3.24 becomes 324 when the decimal point is moved

Hence, the total weight of the 100 cantaloupe is 324 pounds
