Answer:
The total number of apple is 20 and total weight is 100 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Addison is making caramel apples. She has \(2\dfrac{1}{2}\) bags of apples.
One full bag has 8 apples and each apple weighs 5 ounces.
Total number of apples can be calculated by multiplying number of bags with number of apples in each bags.
As in a full bag there are 8 apples, so number of apples is,
\(=2\dfrac{1}{2}\times 8\\\\=\dfrac{5}{2}\times 8\\\\=\dfrac{40}{2}\\\\=20\)
Multiplying the total number of apple with weight of one apple will yield the total weight of the apples. So the expression will be,
\(=\text{Total number of apple}\times \text{Weight of one apple}\)
\(=20\times 5\\\\=100\text{ ounces}\)
