12John weighs 85 pounds. Jeff weighs 105 pounds. Jake weighs 115 pounds. Two of them standing together on the same scale could weigh 200 pounds. True False

To answer the question, we need to determine if it is possible for two of the individuals to weigh a combined total of 200 pounds.

Let's consider the given weights of John, Jeff, and Jake.

John weighs 85 pounds, Jeff weighs 105 pounds, and Jake weighs 115 pounds.

To find out if two of them standing together on the same scale could weigh 200 pounds, we can try different combinations.

If John and Jeff stand together, their combined weight would be 85 + 105 = 190 pounds. This is less than 200 pounds.

If John and Jake stand together, their combined weight would be 85 + 115 = 200 pounds. This is equal to 200 pounds.

If Jeff and Jake stand together, their combined weight would be 105 + 115 = 220 pounds. This is more than 200 pounds.

Since it is possible for John and Jake to weigh a combined total of 200 pounds, the statement "Two of them standing together on the same scale could weigh 200 pounds" is true.
