Question

A manufacturer produces 1 ton of baseballs per day and packs them in cartons of 24 baseballs each. If all of the balls are the minimum allowable weight, how many cartons of balls does the company produce each day?

Answer 1

Given :

Mass of baseball produced per day, m = 1 ton.

1 carton of baseball contain 24 baseballs.

To Find :

If all of the balls are the minimum allowable weight, how many cartons of balls does the company produce each day.

Solution :

Minimum allowable weight of a baseball is 5 ounces.

We know, 1 ton = 2000 pounds and 1 pounds = 16 ounces.

So, 1 ton = 32000 ounces .

Number of baseballs produced :

n = 32000/5

n = 6400

Number of carton produce each day, N = 6400/24 = 266.67

Since, carters cannot be in decimal.

Therefore, carton produce in each day is 266 .
