A food pantry is making packages. Each package weighs 64 pounds. Here are two situations. For each situation, write and solve an equation to represent the situation, then explain what your solution means in the situation. If you get stuck, try drawing a diagram. (upload your work when complete)

Each package contains 4 boxes. Each box contains a 7-pound bag of beans and a bag of rice. The bags of rice are all identical.
Each package contains 4 identical bags of rice and a 7-pound bag of beans.

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c

emily solved for a part when she should have solved for the whole. 875,000 should be the numerator of the equivalent ratio. 70 x 12,500 is 875,000. so the answer is 100 x 12,500 which is 1,250,000.
