Question

Mohammed built a building that can carry up to 5 tons. If each person weighs about 150 pounds, how many people can fit onto the building that Mohammed built?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To start solving this problem, you need to figure out how many Pounds( I'll use lbs.) = 5 Tons( I'll use T).

2,000 lbs. = 1 T.

X 5 X 5

10,000 lbs. = 5 T.

Now we divide. That just means that if we know that 1 person( I'll use P) = 150, we just divide 5 T( 10,000 lbs.) by 150 lbs.

10,000/150=66.6666666667

hope this helps!!
