27ft³=x tons
1ft³=0.5 tons

\frac{27cubicfeet}{x_t_o_n_s} = \frac{1cubic foot}{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
