5. Model Real Life You are testing how
many grams different-sized bundles of spaghetti
can hold. You predict that a bundle of 5 noodles
can hold 10 quarters before breaking and that a
bundle of 10 noodles can hold 20 quarters before
breaking. Each quarter weighs 5- grams. Using
your predictions, how many more grams can the
bundle of 10 noodles hold than the bundle of
5 noodles?
67
100

Respuesta :

To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the weight that each bundle of spaghetti noodles can hold according to your predictions, and then determine the difference in weight between the two bundles.

1. First, we calculate the weight each bundle can hold in grams.

  - Each quarter weighs 5 grams.

  - A bundle of 5 noodles can hold 10 quarters.

  - A bundle of 10 noodles can hold 20 quarters.

2. Next, we calculate the total weight each bundle can hold.

  - Weight held by 5 noodles = 10 quarters × 5 grams/quarter

  - Weight held by 10 noodles = 20 quarters × 5 grams/quarter

3. Finally, we find the difference in weight between the two bundles.

Let's calculate these:

According to the calculations:

- A bundle of 5 noodles can hold 50 grams (10 quarters × 5 grams/quarter).

- A bundle of 10 noodles can hold 100 grams (20 quarters × 5 grams/quarter).

The difference in weight that the bundle of 10 noodles can hold compared to the bundle of 5 noodles is 50 grams.
