How many loads does the pay loader need to dump In the truck before it is full?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 Loads

Step-by-step explanation:

1 US ton = 2000 Lbs.

2.25 Tons = 4500 Lbs.

4500/750 = 6

6 Loads

By using PEDMAS rule, 3 loads does the pay loader need to dump In the truck before it is full.

What is PEDMAS rule?

PEDMAS rule states that the order of operation starts with the parentheses first or the calculation which is enclosed in brackets. Then the operation is performed on exponents(degree or square roots) and later we do operations on division & multiplication and at last addition and subtraction.

Based on the given conditions

[tex]2\frac{1}{4} =\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

1000 × [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] ÷ 750

= [tex]\frac{1000(\frac{9}{4}) }{750}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{250 (9)}{750}[/tex]

= 3

Thus, 3 loads does the pay loader need to dump In the truck before it is full.
