Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- The freight elevator can hold a maximum weight of 3500 pounds
- The delivery man weighs 200 pounds
- Each carton weighs 48 pounds
Let the number of cartons he can safely put on the elevator at one time=n
Total weight of Carton=48n
Since the weight of the man and the cartons combined must not be more than 3500 pounds,
Therefore,an inequality that represents the situation is:
We can solve for n if required
The delivery man can safely carry 66 Cartons.
