Question

One model of a forklift truck can raise a maximum of 1750 kilograms. Write an in equality to describe the maximum number of 40 kilogram boxes that this forklift truck can raise

Answer 1

Answer:

The forklift truck can raise maximum of 43 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Maximum limit of  forklift truck =

1750 kilograms

Let x be the number of 40 kilogram boxes that this forklift truck can raise.

Thus, we can write the following inequality that describes the maximum number of boxes raised.

$40x \leq 1750\\\\x \leq \dfrac{1750}{40}\\\\x \leq 43.75\\Max(x) = 43$

Thus, the forklift truck can raise maximum of 43 boxes.
