Answer:
32 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the patrolman's rate in miles per hour during the shift. Since we want to find miles per hour, we must divide the miles he drove by the number of hours.
rate = miles / hours
He drove 272 miles.
rate = 272 miles / hours
He drove for 8 hours and 30 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. One half of 60 is 30. Therefore, we can also say he drove eight and a half, or 8.5 hours.
rate= 272 miles / 8.5 hours
rate = 32 miles / hour
rate= 32 mph
His average rate during the shift was 32 miles per hour.
How much is that circle then multiply that by how many pieces you can fit in there
Since one ton is 2000 pounds, 2.25 tons is equal to 4500 pounds. Now do
4500-2150=2350
So he can carry 2350 more pounds
Hope this helps
