The Weston Laundry washes all the linens for local hotels. In 7 days, they washed 285.38 pounds of towels and 353.47 pounds of sheets. About how many pounds of laundry did they wash each day?

Respuesta :

In the problem it is already given that Weston Laundry washed 285.38 pounds of towel and 353.47 pounds of sheets from local hotels in 1 day. Firstly we have to find the total pounds of linens that Weston Laundry has washed in 7 days. Then only will it be possible to find the amount of linen washed in a day.
Then t
Total linen washed by Weston Laundry in 7 days = (285.38 + 353.47) pounds
                                                                               = 638.85 pounds.
Then
The amount of linen washed by Weston Laundry in 1 day = 638.85/7
                                                                                             = 91.26 pounds
So Weston Laundry washed about 91.26 pounds of linen each day.
