Question

a moving company had 1/5 of a ton of weight to move across town. if they wanted to split it equally amongst 7 trips how much weight would they have on each trip

Answer 1

Given:

A moving company had 1/5 of a ton of weight to move across town.

They wanted to split it equally amongst 7 trips

so, we will divide 1/5 by 7 to get the answer

so,

`(1)/(5)/7=(1)/(5)*(1)/(7)=(1)/(35)`

so, the answer will be:

The weight of each trip = (1/35) ton
