QuestionWhat is the weight of each custom bracket if 5,400 lbs. of $1 / 2^{n}$ steel plate makes 36 brackets?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total weight of the steel plate used is5,400 lbs. . The total number of custom brackets built is36.
3. Each bracket is made from the same amount of steel plate.

STEP 2

To find the weight of each bracket, we need to divide the total weight of the steel plate by the number of brackets. $Weight\, of\, each\, bracket = Total\, weight / Number\, of\, brackets$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total weight and the number of brackets to calculate the weight of each bracket.
$Weight\, of\, each\, bracket =5,400\, lbs. /36$

STEP 4

Calculate the weight of each bracket.
$Weight\, of\, each\, bracket =,400\, lbs. /36 =150\, lbs.$
Each bracket weighs150 lbs.
