QuestionA driver can deliver how much stone today if a truck carries 5125 \frac{1}{2} tons and makes 6 deliveries?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Each small delivery truck can carry 515 \frac{1}{} tons of stone. . A driver can make6 local deliveries in the small delivery truck in one day.
3. The amount of stone delivered in each delivery is the maximum capacity of the truck.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the total amount of stone that can be delivered in one day. We can do this by multiplying the capacity of the truck by the number of deliveries.
Total stone=Truck capacitytimesNumber of deliveriesTotal\, stone = Truck\, capacity \\times Number\, of\, deliveries

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the truck capacity and number of deliveries to calculate the total amount of stone.
Total stone=512 tonstimes6Total\, stone =5 \frac{1}{2}\, tons \\times6

STEP 4

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction to make the multiplication easier.
12=112 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{11}{2}Total stone=112 tonstimes6Total\, stone = \frac{11}{2}\, tons \\times6

STEP 5

Calculate the total amount of stone.
Total stone=112 tonstimes=33 tonsTotal\, stone = \frac{11}{2}\, tons \\times =33\, tonsThe driver can deliver33 tons of stone to a local worksite today.
