ANSWER: 38.25 pounds

EXPLANATION:

One gallon weighs 8.5 pounds. In 4 1/2 there are 4 gallons so we’re need to figure out how much 4 gallons weigh. To do this multiply the weight of one gallon by the number of gallons.

4 x 8.5 = 34

So we know that 4 gallons is 34 pounds

Now we still have half a pound we need to find the weight of. To find the weight of half a pound divide the weight of one gallon by 2.

8.5 divided by 2 = 4.25

Now we add the 4 pounds and the 1/2 to get the weight of them.

34 + 4.25 = 38.25

So the answer is 38.25 pounds

If you need more of an explanation let me know I can try to explain better :)

GOOD LUCK WITH THE REST IF YOUR WORK! :)
