Question:
Sam is delivering two refrigerators that each weigh 105 kilograms. There is an
elevator with a weight limit of 1,000 pounds. Can he take both refrigerators on the
elevator in one trip? (1 kilogram 2.2 pounds)
Answer: yes he can
Explanation:
Yes he can.
He can if the total weight of the 2 refrigerator didn't exceed the weight limit of the elevator.
Therefore:
Since 1 refrigerator weigh 105kg
2 refrigerator = 2 x 105kg = 210kg
The weight limit of the elevator 1000pounds convert to kg.
Since
2.2 pounds = 1kg
1000 pounds = 1000/2.2 kg
=454.55kg
Weight limit of the elevator = 454.55kg.
Since Weight of the 2 refrigerator is less than
weight limit of the elevator, he can take both refrigerators on the elevator in one trip
