The first thing you must do is to calculate the weight of the gravel (w) that the truck holds (7.5 yards³). So, you have:
If the weight of 1 yard³ is 1.48 tons, then the weight of 7.5 yards³ is:
w=7.5x1.48 tons
w=11.1 tons
The problem says that the gravel will be placed in containers that each hold 3.7 tons of gravel,so, If they need 1 cotainer to place 3.7 tons, how many containers they need to place 11.1 tons?
1 container-------3.7 tons of gravel
x-------11.1 tons of gravel
x=(11.1x1)/3.7
x=11.1/3.7
x=3 containers
H<span>ow many containers of this size are needed to hold all the gravel from one truck?

The answer is: 3 containers.
Answer:
$2100
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 of 4500 is 1500
to find 1/3 of a number is to multiply by 1/3
1/3 * 4500 = 1500
$1500 is for savings
subtract 1500 from 4500
4500 - 1500 = 3000
the remaining money is $3000
to find 50% of something, divide by 2
3000/2 = 1500
$1500 is spent on food.
20% of 3000 is 600
to find 20% of something, multiply the decimal value (0.2)
0.2 * 3000 = 600
$600 are spent on rent.
$450 leftover
1500 + 600 = 2100
Food and rent cost $2100
hope this helps:)
