Question

30 pts. Harrison has 2500 kg of sand delivered to a construction site every day. About how many tons of sand does he have delivered to the site after 4 weeks? 1 ton≈907.2 kg (Make sure you show work/explain how you arrived at your solution.)

Answer 1

There are 7 days to a week, so 4 weeks = 4 * 7 = 28 days.

28 days x 2,500 kg per day = 70,000 total kgs.

Divide total kgs by kgs per ton:

70,000 total kgs / 907.2 kg per ton = 77.16 tons , round the answer to 77 tons.
