Answer 1

Question:

Sam is delivering two refrigerators that each weigh 105 kilograms. There is an

elevator with a weight limit of 1,000 pounds. Can he take both refrigerators on the

elevator in one trip? (1 kilogram 2.2 pounds)

Answer: yes he can

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes he can.

He can if the total weight of the 2 refrigerator didn't exceed the weight limit of the elevator.

Therefore:

Since 1 refrigerator weigh 105kg

2 refrigerator = 2 x 105kg = 210kg

The weight limit of the elevator 1000pounds convert to kg.

Since

2.2 pounds = 1kg

1000 pounds = 1000/2.2 kg

=454.55kg

Weight limit of the elevator = 454.55kg.

Since Weight of the 2 refrigerator is less than

weight limit of the elevator, he can take both refrigerators on the elevator in one trip
