Maria fills a bucket with f pounds of apples 5 times a day. She carries 60 pounds of apples a day. Write and solve the equation.

This is the concept algebra:

Given that Maria fills a bucket with f pounds of apples 5 times a day, the total number of apples she fills is given by the equation:

Total=5*f=5f

The total number of apples she carries per day is 60 apples

5f=60

hence the value of f will be:

f=60/5=12 pounds
