Question

A truckload of apples weighs 2550 lbs. If 5 (exact) apples weigh 1250 g, how many apples are in the truck?

Answer 1

There are 4,626 apples in the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of 5 apples = 1250

Mass of an apple =
`(1250 g)/(5)=250 g`

Mass of apples in the truck = 2550 lbs

1 lbs = 453.592 g

`2550 lbs=2550* 453.592 g`

Let the number of apples with mass of 2550 lbs be a.

`a* 250 g=2550* 453.592 g`

`a=(2550* 453.592 g)/(250 g)=4,626.63`

4,626.63 ≈ 4,626

So, there are 4,626 apples in the truck.
