Question

If a metric ton is 1.000 ✕ 103 kg, how many 65 kg people can safely occupy an elevator that can hold a maximum mass of exactly 2 metric tons?

Answer 1

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given 1 metric ton $10^3kg$

The elevator can safely occupy the weight of 2 metric ton =2×1000=2000 kg

It is given that mass of one people =65 kg

So the total number of people whom the elevator can occupy safely

$=\frac{2000}{65}=30.76$ as the people can't be in fraction so total number of people =30
