One aluminum can weights 1/25 pound. if your school starts a recycling drive how many cans will your school need to collect to recycle one ton?

Hello!

First you have to find how many cans make a pound

1/25 * 25 = 1

It takes 25 cans to get to 1 pound

There are 2000 pounds in a ton

Multiply the amount of cans to make a pound by the amount of pounds in a ton

25 * 2000 = 50000

The answer is 50,000 aluminum cans

Hope this helps!
