A forklift can carry a maximum load of 4,500 pounds. A pallet of boxes weighs 325 pounds each. What is the maximum number of full pallets the forklift can carry in one trip?

Accepted Answer

13 pallets

Answer

4,500 ÷ 325 = 13.84; the forklift can carry 13 complete pallets.

Question 3

A job site uses 3 workers to complete a task in 12 days. If 4 workers are assigned instead, approximately how many days will the same task take?

9 days

Answer

Total work = 3 × 12 = 36 worker-days; days with 4 workers = 36 ÷ 4 = 9 days.
