Answer:

A shipment of 150 bottles will weigh 120 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

24 bottles of water weigh 30 pounds

Ratio of bottles to weight = 24 : 30

Number of bottles in shipment = 150

Weight of bottles = x

Ratio = x : 150

As the relation is proportional

24 : 30 :: x : 150

Product of mean = Product of extreme

30x = 24 * 150

30x = 3600

Dividing both sides by 30

[tex]\frac{30x}{30}=\frac{3600}{30}\\x= 120[/tex]

Hence,

A shipment of 150 bottles will weigh 120 pounds.
