Question

one aluminum can wieghs about 1/25 lb. if your school starts a recycling drive, how many cans will your school need to collect to recycle one ton?

Answer 1

1 ton = 2000 lbs.
1 can weighs 1/25th of a lb. or .04
So divide 2000 by .04 and you get 50,000

lets check....
1/25 x 50,000 = .04 x 50,000 = 2000

If I did this correctly, the school will need 50,000 cans. You might better wait for a second opinion.
