Question

If a metric ton is 1.000 ✕ 103 kg, how many 65 kg people can safely occupy an elevator that can hold a maximum mass of exactly 2 metric tons?

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

We have given 1 metric ton
`10^3kg`

The elevator can safely occupy the weight of 2 metric ton =2×1000=2000 kg

It is given that mass of one people =65 kg

So the total number of people whom the elevator can occupy safely

`=(2000)/(65)=30.76` as the people can't be in fraction so total number of people =30
