QuestionJohnathan gets $2500 \mathrm{~kg}$ of sand daily. How many tons does he receive in 4 weeks?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The amount of sand delivered each day is2500 kg. The time period is4 weeks3. There are7 days in a week4.1 ton is equal to1000 kg

STEP 2

First, we need to find the total amount of sand delivered in4 weeks. We can do this by multiplying the amount of sand delivered each day by the number of days in4 weeks.
$Total\, sand = Daily\, sand\, delivery \\times Number\, of\, days$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the daily sand delivery and number of days to calculate the total sand.
$Total\, sand =2500\, kg/day \\times\, weeks \\times7\, days/week$

STEP 4

Calculate the total amount of sand delivered in4 weeks.
$Total\, sand =2500\, kg/day \\times4\, weeks \\times7\, days/week =70000\, kg$

STEP 5

Now that we have the total amount of sand in kilograms, we can convert this to tons. We can do this by dividing the total sand by the conversion factor of1 ton to1000 kg.
$Total\, sand\, in\, tons = Total\, sand\, in\, kg / Conversion\, factor$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the total sand in kg and the conversion factor to calculate the total sand in tons.
$Total\, sand\, in\, tons =70000\, kg /1000\, kg/ton$

STEP 7

Calculate the total amount of sand delivered in4 weeks in tons.
$Total\, sand\, in\, tons =70000\, kg /1000\, kg/ton =70\, tons$ Johnathan has70 tons of sand delivered to the site after4 weeks.
