Answer:
1200 bags per school if the 3 tons is for every school;
15 bags per school if the 3 tons is total amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is very vague at the part where "He estimates that he will need 3 tons of sand for this project." It doesn't explains whether the 3 tons' for 1 school or the whole thing.
Senario 1 [3 tons per school]:
First, we know that 1 ton = 2000 pounds
So, 3 ton = 3 * 2000 = 6000 pounds
This is for one school, so that means all we got to do is to divide 6000 pounds by 50 - [tex]\frac{6000}{5}[/tex] = 1200 bags per school
The answer is 1200 bags per school in this senario.
Senario 2 [3 tons total]:
In this case, you start out the same-
We know that 1 ton = 2000 pounds
So, 3 ton = 3 * 2000 = 6000 pounds
If this is for all school, we need to divide the 6000 pounds by 8, which is for one school - [tex]\frac{6000}{8}[/tex] = 750 pounds per school
Then we need to figure out how many 50 pounds bag, which we divide-
[tex]\frac{750}{50}[/tex] = 15 bags per school
The answer is 15 bags per school in this senario.
