  1. you can fill the container 3 times because if you times 5*16.5 you get 82.5 the you have to add 25 to 25 then add 25 again and you get75 so you can fillthe container 3 times

  3. I found the answer by multiplying 16.5 times 5 (number of bags) to get 82.5. And if the tub can hold 25 pounds, 82.5 divided by 25 is equal to 3.The answer is 3 with 7.5 pounds left over.

  6. Ms. Altic can fill the the box 3 times and have 3 pounds left after she filled the box the last time because... 16.5x5=82.5 and 82.5/25 is 3.3 so the answer is three times filled and three pounds left over.

  7. To get the answer to the problem first I did 16.5*5 because I needed to know how much dog food is in 5 bags. Next I did 82.5/25 because I had 82.5 pounds of food and the container holds 25 pounds. I got the 3.3 as the answer.

  20. you can fill the container 2 times. if you want to fill it to the top you have to add 16.5 plus 16.5 is 33.0 wich is greater than 25.0. then you have to take 33.0 - 25.0 = 8.

  24. 5, because if she has 5 new containers of dog food and the big container holds 25 pounds of dog food you could do 25x5=5 so she can fill the big container 25x.
