Question

Answer 1

The elevator can carry the adults with average mass of 80 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Capacity to weight that can be hold by elevator = 2500 pounds

Average mass of one adult = 80 kg

Average mass of 10 adults = 80*10 = 800kg

We need to have the weights in same unit in order to determine whether the elevator can carry the adults or not.

We will convert the weight of 10 adults into pounds.

1 kg = 2.205 pounds

800 kg = 800*2.205 = 1764 pounds

Therefore,

1764 pounds < 2500 pounds

The elevator can carry the adults with average mass of 80 kg.
