Answer:

x = 12 x 5 lb   Pound of flour per box

x = 60 lb        

2,000 lb = 1 T     We need to multiply by the conversation rule.

y = 3 T x 2,000 lb     FInd out how  many pound are in 3 Tons.

y = 6,000 lb               Pound of flour in the warehouse.

b = 6,000 lb / 60 lb     Divded by the number of pound per box.

b = 100 lb boxes         100 boxes are needed.
