Aconstruction elevator can carry at most 2,320 pounds. if the elevator operator weighs 195 pounds and each palette of roofing material weighs 425 pounds, what is the maximum number of palettes of roofing material that the elevator can carry in one trip?

The maximum number of palettes that the elevator can carry in one trip is 5.

425 times 5= 2,125+ 195= 2,320

Hope this helps!! :-)

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
