A shipping container will be used to transport several 60-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that c
an be loaded into the container is 26000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 13200 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. What is the greatest number of 60-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container?
There is enough space for 26000 kg - 13200 kg = 12800 kg. Divide this by 60 and you get 213 and 1/3. You cannot put 1/3 of a crate, so it is 213 crates.
