Answer:
The number of bricks a truck can carry in full load is 308 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The weight of each brick = 4 pounds and 14 ounce
The total load a truck can carry = [tex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] tons
Let The number of bricks truck can carry = n bricks
Now, According to question
∵ 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds
∴ 14 ounce = 0.0625 × 14 = 0.875 pounds
So, Total weight of each brick = 4 pounds + 0.875 pounds = 4.875 pounds
Again
∵ 1 pound = 0.0005 tons
∴ 4.875 pounds = 0.0005 × 4.875 = 0.0024375 tons
Now, Again
The total load a truck can carry = [tex]\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] tons = 0.75 tons
And The weight of each brick = 0.0024375 tons
So, The number of bricks = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm total load a truck can carry}{\textrm Total weight of each brick}[/tex]
I.e n = [tex]\dfrac{0.75}{0.0024375}[/tex]
∴ n = 307.69 ≈ 308
So, The number of bricks can truck carry = n = 308
Hence, The number of bricks a truck can carry in full load is 308 . Answer
