45 trucks, each with 3.5-ton payload, are needed to unload a freight train. how many trucks with a 2.5-ton payload would be needed to do the same job?

The answer is 63 trucks.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need 45 trucks with 3.5 ton each to do the job; then we have a 157.5 ton payload. So if we divide the 157.5 ton into 2.5 ton trucks we get a total of 63 trucks.

3.5 x 45 = 157.5

2.5 x 63 = 157.5

b.) 160 miles on a 5 gallons car

step-by-step explanation:

240/10=24 miles/gallon

160/5=32 miles/gallon

30/1=30 miles/gallon

168/6= 28 miles/gallon

32 miles/gallon is the most amount, so this is the best.
