Question

4 a farmer ties 4 bags on his mule. the mule can carry up to 200 lb and each bag weighs 30 lb. how many more bags can the mule carry?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate weight of 4 bags

Each bag is 30 lb, so 4 bags weigh $4\times30 = 120$ lb.

Step2: Find remaining weight capacity

Mule can carry 200 lb, so remaining weight is $200 - 120 = 80$ lb.

Step3: Calculate number of additional bags

Each bag is 30 lb, so number of additional bags is $\lfloor\frac{80}{30}
floor = 2$ (since we can't have a fraction of a bag and $\frac{80}{30}\approx2.67$, we take the integer part).
