for every part produced by a factory there are 5 ounces of scrap aluminum that can be recycled there are 16 ounces in 1 pound and 2000 pounds in 1 ton how many parts must the factory produce so that there is 1 ton scrap alumnium for recycling

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1 \: part}{5 \: oz \: scrap} \times \frac{16 \: oz}{1 \: pound} \times \frac{2000 \: pounds}{1 \: ton} = 6400 \: parts \: per \: ton \: scrap$

$6400 \frac{parts}{ton \: scrap} \times 1000 \: ton \: scrap \: = 6 \: 400 \: 000 \: parts$
