Question

Pls help me. i'm so sorry:( this is the last question

A recycle center received 7.2 tons of glass, 8,500 pounds of paper, and 5/8 ton of aluminum. If 2,000 pounds = 1 ton, approximately what was the total amount of recyclable material received at the center?

Answer 1

7.2 X 2000 = 14400 pounds

5/8 = 0.625, 0.625 X 2000 = 1250 pounds

14400 + 1250 + 8500 = 24150 pounds

24150/2000 = 12.08 tons
