Question

If a concrete block weigh 2 ton ( 1 ton= 1000kg) and the truck maximum capacity is 8000 kg. How many concrete blocks will the truck be able to load at maximum capacity?

Answer 1

We have several important things described in the statement

1. A concrete block weighs 2 ton

2. 1 ton= 1000kg

3. The truck maximum capacity is 8000 kg

We should determine how many concrete blocks the cart is carrying at its maximum capacity

First, let's determine in tons how much the truck can support

$8000\operatorname{kg}\cdot\frac{1\text{ton}}{1000\operatorname{kg}}=8\text{ton}$

Now let's determine how many blocks can be carried in a maximum of 8 ton

$\frac{8\text{ton}}{2\text{ton}}=4$

the answer is that the truck can support 4 concrete blocks
