If 2 cubic feet of sand weigh 90 pounds, how much do 5 cubic feet of sand weigh?

Well you already know that 2 cubic feet of sand weighs 90 pounds, so 90 ÷ 2 = 45.
Now you know that 1 cubic feet of sand weighs 45 pounds. Now you need to figure out how much 5 cubic feet of sand will weigh. If each cubic feet of sand weighs 45 pounds you just multiply 45 × 5 = 225
So 5 cubic feet of sand will weigh 225 pounds.
Hope that helps you. :-)

5 cubic feet of sand weigh 225 pounds. This is calculated based on the known weight of 2 cubic feet of sand, which is 90 pounds. By finding the weight of 1 cubic foot and multiplying it by 5, we determine the total weight.
