Question

An elevator has a maximum weight limit of 1.5 tons .Rozell company workers load boxes that weight 150 each into the elevator to transport them to the first floor. What is the greatest number of boxes the elevator can hold.

Answer 1

Answer:

Total no of 9 boxes can be transported in the elevator with capacity of 1.5 ton and each box of 150kg each

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the greatest number of boxes the elevator can hold first we will find the total capacity of elevator in kgs

maximum weight capacity of the elevator= 1.5 tons

as 1 ton = 907.185 kgs

so 1.5 ton = 1.5 x 907.185 kgs

                 = 1360.78 kg

The formula which will be used is

Total capacity of the lift = no of boxes x weight of each box

to find no of boxes we will re arrange the equation

No of Boxes = Total capacity of the lift/  weight of each box

$No\,of\,\,boxes= \frac{1360.78}{150} \\ = 9.07185$

So total no of 9 boxes can be transported in the elevator with capacity of 1.5 ton and each box of 150kg each
