Question

A pick up truck is carrying 10 powerd by 3 identical tiles weighs 6704 pounds of the empty truck weighs 6256 pounds what is the weight of each tile explain how to solve the problem

Answer 1

Answer:

0.448 pounds per brick.

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that pick up truck was carrying 10 powerd by 3 identical tiles, This can be written mathematically as (10^3) = 1000 bricks

the weight of the bricks= (weight of the truck when full - the weight of the truck when empty)

the weight of the bricks=(6704- 6256) = 448 pounds of bricks

the weight of each tile =(448 pounds / 1000 bricks)

= 0.448 pounds per brick.

Hence, the weight of each tile is 0.448 pounds per brick.
