Let x be the number of boxes the team brings with them. Their weight combined with the boxes can't exceed the capacity of 1400. Assuming the elevator runs fine at that exact weight, you want to find the number of boxes, each of which contributes 40 pounds. This is given by the equation

1400=1200+40x

Solving for x, you have

1400=1200-40x
200=40x
x=5

So the team can bring *at most* 5 boxes at a time.

Nata [24]

Answer:

6 23/24

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the least common factor of 8 and 12, the denominators.

8 16 24

12 24

24, is now the current denominnator,

8x 3 = 24

Now you go do it to the numerator, 3 x 3 = 9

9/24 + ?

Now, 12 x 2 = 24, do it to the numerator, 7 x 2 = 14

4 9/24 + 2 14/24

Now add the front numbers to make 6, than add the numerators and keep the denominator.

6 23/24, since you can not simplify this fraction, this is the answer.
