Question

The trailer will be used to transport several 40 kg grades into a store the greatest amount of work that can be loaded onto the trailer is 1050 kg and 82 kg create has been loaded into the trailer what is the greatest number of 40 kg crates that can be loaded into the trailor.

Answer 1

24 crates.

Explanation:

Given:

The trailer will be used to transport several 40 kg crates into a store the greatest amount of work that can be loaded onto the trailer is 1050 kg

82 kg create has been loaded into the trailer.

What is the greatest number of 40 kg crates that can be loaded into the trailer ?

Solution:

Total capacity of trailer = 1050 kg of crates

Already loaded = 82 kg

Remaining weight of crates to be loaded = 1050 - 82 = 968 kg of crates

To find the greatest number of 40 kg crates that can be loaded, we will divide the remaining weight of crates by 40 kg

968
`/` 40 = 24.2

That means we maximum 24 crates of 40 kg each can be loaded into the trailer.

Answer 2

The maximum of 24 numbers of 40 kg crates can be loaded into the trailer.

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the crates already loaded = 82 kg

Weight of each crates that needs to be loaded = 40 kg

Maximum weight can be loaded on trailer = 1050 kg

We need to find the number of 40 kg crates that can be loaded into the trailer.

Solution:

Let the number of 40 kg crates that can be loaded into the trailer be 'x'.

So we can say that;

number of 40 kg crates that can be loaded into the trailer multiplied by Weight of each crates that needs to be loaded plus Weight of the crates already loaded should be less than or equal to Maximum weight can be loaded on trailer.

framing in equation form we get;

`40x+82\leq 1050`

Subtracting both side by 82 we get;

`40x+82-82\leq 1050-82\\\\40x\leq 968`

dividing both side by 40 we get;

`(40x)/(40)\leq (968)/(40)\\\\x\leq 24.2`

Hence The maximum of 24 numbers of 40 kg crates can be loaded into the trailer.
