Answer: 100 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since 1 ton = 2,000 lbs
We have to divide 10lbs by 2000 to convert the lbs in tons.
1t/2000lb = xt / 10lb
10 /2000=0.005
0.005 ton = 10 lbs (1 bag)
Each box has 4 bags
0.005 ton x 4 = 0.02 ton
So each box weights 0.02 ton
Since we need 2 tons.
Using proportions:
0.02t/1 box= 2 t / x boxes
x = 2 / (0.02/1)
x = 100 boxes
