Given :
The librarians need to pack 2 tons of books into cardboard boxes. Each box can safely hold about 25 pounds of books. If they already packed 50 boxes.
To Find :
How many more boxes should they expect to use.
Solution :
We know, 1 ton = 2000 pounds
So, 2 ton = 4000 pounds
Minimum number of boxes required for safe handling :
[tex]n=\dfrac{4000}{25}\\\\n=160[/tex]
So, total 160 boxes required.
Therefore, 160 - 50 = 110 many more boxes should they expect to use.
Hence, this is the required solution.
