Question

HELP DUE IN 5 mins The company ordered boxes of concrete nails weighing 3.35 kgs each and a box of 2.5 kgs of screws. The eight construction workers each received a box of nails and each worker used 1.23 kgs of concrete nails yesterday. What is the weight of the concrete nails left in each box? If the concrete nails were put together in a big toolbox, how much would the concrete nails weigh?

Answer 1

Answer: See below

Explanation:

Weight of concrete nails - weight of concrete nails used = weight of concrete nails left

3.35 – 1.23 = 2.12

Weight of concrete nails left * number of workers = total weight of concrete nails

2.12 x 8 = 16.96

There are 2.12 kgs of concrete nails left in each of the boxes and there are 16.96 kgs of concrete nails altogether
