X X X

1/4 2/4 3/4 4/4


Each x = 1 Pallet
If the weight were redistributed evenly,
how much weight would be on each
pallet?

​

Answer 1

Each pallet will have 7/16 tons of weight

Explanation:

Calculate total weight: 2×1/4 + 2/4 + 3/4

= 7/4 tons

total number of boxes= 4

so to divide the weigth evenly among all pallets: (7/4)÷ 4

= 7/16 tons
