Answer 3

You need to find the average weight of cocoa per day.

Answer 4

First, can you calculate how much cocoa was used?

Answer 5

20.2 cocoa was used?

Answer 6

It would be 5.58 because if you subtract 20.2 from 76 pounds, you get 55.8 pounds left. Then you divide 55.8 pounds divided by 10 pounds to get your answer.

Answer 7

Thank you everyone :)

Answer 8

No.
There were 76 lb originally.
After 10 days, there were 20.2 lb left.
The amount used is the difference between 76 lb an 20.2 lb.

Answer 10

76 - 20.2 = 55.8
After 10 days, there were 55.8 lb left.

The average is found by dividing the amount used by the number of days.

/(/dfrac {55.8~lb}{10~days} = 5.58 dfrac {lb}{day} /)
