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

Write an expression that is equivalent to three over four(5z + 16).
klio [65]
Your answer is B. Using the distributive property, 3/4 • 5z equals 15/4z, which can't be simplified. Then 3/4 of 16 is 12. If you divide 16 by 4 (the denominator) and then multiply by 3 (the numerator) that yields your answer.
