This is an odd situation. My daughter is in 5th grade, and her teacher so far this year has marked at least one, sometimes numerous, questions wrong on each of her homework/tests that were actually correct. I have sent notes that brought this to her attention, but it was only corrected without a word. I helped her with her homework last night and was told that again, it is wrong. My husband and I both got the same answer and tried to look at it different ways. It seems to be the simplest problem, but I may be crazy! Please help so I can move forward and decide what to do next!
Question:
The total weight of 6 pieces of butter and a bag of sugar is 3.8 lbs. If the weight of the bag of sugar is 1.4 lbs., what is the weight of each piece of butter?
Thank you
