Answer:
It's 16 I just did the same question on a quiz
If the total weight of the box that contains the supplies was 10 pound.
The maximum number of copies of the book that Mr. Mateo could have ordered is 16.
Given:
The number of copies of a book = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] pound
The total weight of the box = 10 pounds
According to question,
[tex]\frac{3}{5} x<10\\3x<50\\x<\frac{50}{3}\\x<16.66[/tex]
let: x = 16
Therefore, the maximum number of copies of the book that Mr. Mateo could have ordered is 16.
