A store ships cans by weight. A small box can hold 3 to 5 pounds. A medium box can hold 5 to 8 pounds. The weights of the cans are given below.
Drag cans into each box to show what the box could contain.
Small Box: 3 to 5 pounds
Medium Box: 5 to 8 pounds
To determine what cans can fit into each box, we need to consider the weight range for each box.
For the Small Box (3 to 5 pounds), we would choose cans that add up to a weight within this range. For example, if the cans weigh 2 pounds and 2.5 pounds, they can fit into the small box since 2 + 2.5 = 4.5 pounds, which is within the range.
For the Medium Box (5 to 8 pounds), we should select cans that total a weight between 5 and 8 pounds. For example, if we have cans weighing 3 pounds and 4 pounds, they can fit as 3 + 4 = 7 pounds, which is acceptable.
### Summary:
– Small Box: Use cans that sum up to between 3 and 5 pounds (e.g., 2 + 2.5 = 4.5).
– Medium Box: Use cans that sum up to between 5 and 8 pounds (e.g., 3 + 4 = 7).
Remember, the exact cans you would use depend on the specific weights given. If you have specific weights for the cans, feel free to share, and I can help you select which cans fit into each box!
