Reginald can only carry 44 bags in one truck, therefore he cannot carry all the 50 bags of cement in one truck

Weight of each bag of cement = 50 pounds

Let the number of bags that the truck is capable of carrying be x

The truck can not carry more than a weight of 2200 pounds

The inequality to calculate the number of bags that the truck can carry is:

50x ≤ 2200

Divide both sides by 50

50x / 50 ≤ 2200/50

x ≤ 44

The maximum number of cement bags that the truck can carry is 44

Since 44 < 50, Reginal will not be able to carry all the cement in one truck
