Question

A dump truck can hold 2 1/2tons of gravel. The pay loader loading the truck puts 750 pounds of gravel in the truck at one time.

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



6 loads
5 1/2loads
5 loads
4 3/4loads

Answer 1

There are 2,205 pounds in 1 ton
The truck can hold 4,960 pounds
4,960/750 is about 6.13
Eliminate 0.13 because the dozer cannot put 0.13 of a load
So, the answer is option A :)
