Question

A shipping container will be used to transport several 40-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 27500 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 7700 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Use the drop-down menu below to write an inequality representing c, the total number of 40-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container

Answer 1

By solving a quotient, we conclude that 495 crates can be loaded on the container.

How many 40-kg crates can be loaded on the shipping container?

We know that the capacity of the container is 27,500 kilograms, and we also know that there is 7,700 kg already on the container.

So the capacity left is:

27,500 kg - 7,700 kg = 19,800 kg

The number of 40kg crates that enter in the container is given by the quotient between the capacity left and the weight of each crate, so we will get:

N = (19,800 kg)/40kg = 495

This means that 495 crates can be loaded on the container.
