Answer :
Equation of the book on how many pound the books weigh is T = w*n and the weight of the books is 175/3 pounds.
It is given in the question that the book weighs 4 and 3/8 pounds and the number of copies that are needed to mail are 5.
We have to find the equation to find the weight of 5 copies of the book.
The equation will be:-
Total weight of books = Weight of 1 book * Number of copies of book
Let total weight be T
Let weight of 1 book = w
Let number of copies of a book = n
Hence, equation becomes:-
T = w*n
We can find the total weight of the books.
T = (4 and 3/8 )*5
T = (35/3)*5
T = 175/3 pounds
