Question

A moving company has one-sixth of a ton of furniture and boxes to move across the city. Their big truck is in the shop so they have to use a small SUV.
If they wanted to split it equally amongst 4 trips, how much weight would they have on each trip?
with explanation please

Answer 1

The answer should be 83.25 pounds per trip


Begin by finding what one sixth of a ton weighs 6/2000 = 333

Now divide this number by four because of the four individual trips the company is willing to make 333/4 = 83.25
