From the question;
A moving company charges $0.60 per pound for a move from New York to Florida
that is
[tex]1\text{ pound = \$0.60}[/tex]A family estimates that their belongings weigh about 4 tons.
we need to find the cost of moving 4 tons of the family belongings
First, we need to convert tons to pounds
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ tons = 2000 pounds } \\ \text{therefore} \\ 4\text{ tons = 4 }\times2000\text{ pounds} \\ 4\text{ tons = 8000 pounds } \end{gathered}[/tex]The cost of moving 4 tons of belongings = cost of moving 8000 pounds of belongings
Thats
[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos t\text{ of moving 8000 pounds = 8000 }\times\text{ \$0.60} \\ \cos t\text{ of moving 8000 pounds = \$4,800} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore,
It will cost the family $4,800 to move 4 tons of belongings from New York to Florida
