Respuesta :

Answer:

Sam can take both refrigerators on the elevator in one trip.                

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of refrigerators to be delivered = 2

Weight of 1 refrigerator = 105 kg

Weight of 2 refrigerator =

[tex]105\times 2 = 210\text{ kg}[/tex]

Relation:

1 kg = 2.20462 pounds

Converting weight of refrigerators into pounds =

[tex]210\times 2.20462 = 462.9702\text{ pounds}[/tex]

Weight limit of elevator = 1,000 pounds

Thus, the weight of the two refrigerator does not exceed the weight limit of elevator.

So, Sam can take both refrigerators on the elevator in one trip.

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

both are 210 kilos and in pounds that is 462 and that is less than 1,000
