The scoop of an excavator holds 27 ft3 of sand. If the capacity of a freight car is 40 tons of sand and we know that 1 ft3 of sa
nd weighs 0.5 tons, how many freight cars can be filled with 120 loads?
2 answers:
27ft³=x tons
1ft³=0.5 tons

Cross multiply
1x=13.5tons
x=13.5tons
So one scoop/load carries 13.5 tons of sand. Lets see how many 120 loads can carry.
13.5tons*120loads=1620 tons of sand
Now lets see how freight cars it would take to hold 1620 tons of sand
1620/40=40.5 freight cars
Since you can't have .5 of a freight car, lets round 40.5 up to 41
Answer=41 freight cars

Answer:
$ 5.98
Step-by-step explanation:
20/100 × 22.42/1 = $ 4.48
$ 22.42 - $ 4.48 = $ 17.94
If they split that bill in two each would pay $ 5.98
