Question

At a warehouse,127 delivery trucks were loaded w 48 packages on each truck.Estimatethe total number of packages on the trucks. Write an equation to model work.

Answer 1

n= Total number of packages on trucks= 6096

n = T x P (Model Equation)

Explanation:

No. Of delivery trucks = T = 127

Package on each truck = P = 48

Total number of packages on trucks =n= ?

Each truck contains 48 packages and total trucks were 127, to find total number of packages on trucks , we just need to multiply the number of trucks with the number of package on each truck.

Total number of packages on trucks =n= (No. Of delivery trucks) x (Package on each truck)

n = T x P (Model Equation)

n= 127 x 48

n= 6096 (Total number of packages on trucks)
