Question

A crane cable can support a maximum load of 22,000 kg. If a bucket has a mass of 5,000 kg and gravel has a mass of 1,500 kg for every cubic meter, how many cubic meters of gravel can safely lifted by the crane?

Answer 1

Answer:

Alright, so we have a max of 20,000 kg. There is already 4000 on it, so we can subtract 4000 by 20000 to get 16000. We need to figure out how many times 1500 goes into 16000 to figure out the cubic meters, which is 16000/1500=10+2/3
