The question is basically asking<em> "What is 1¼ × 6?"</em>
There are multiple ways to arrive at a solution for this.
The first is to break the 1¼ into parts.
1¼ = 1 + ¼. When we multiply 1¼ by 6, that's equal to 1×6 + ¼×6.
1×6 = 6.
¼×6 = 6/4 = 1½.
6 + 1½ = 7½ hours
You could also put 1¼ as an improper fraction and then multiply.
1¼ = 1 + ¼.
1 = 4/4.
4/4 + 1/4 = 5/4.
5/4 × 6 = (5×6)/4 = 30/4.
30/4 = 15/2 = 7½ hours
First you put your 2,000 lb. Then you subtract 170lb from it.
2,000 - 170 = 1,830. So you have 1,830 available for freight.
1,830 divided by 69 = 26.5.
Since you can't cut a box in half, and you don't want to overload your lift, your answer is 26 boxes.
