Question

Mr. Thomas is delivering bricks to a construction site. He deliveres the same number of bricks with each delivery. The builder has ordered 3096 bricks and it will take 8 trips to deliver all the bricks. How many bricks will mr. Thomas have delivered after 7 trips?

Answer 1

2709 bricks.

Explanation:

We have been given that Mr. Thomas delivers the same number of bricks with each delivery. The builder has ordered 3096 bricks and it will take 8 trips to deliver all the bricks.

First of all we will find the number of bricks delivered in one trip by dividing 3096 by 8.

`\text{Number of bricks delivered in one trip}=(3096)/(8)`

`\text{Number of bricks delivered in one trip}=387`

Now let us multiply number of bricks delivered in one trip by 7 to find the number of bricks delivered in 7 trips.

`\text{Number of bricks delivered in 7 trips}=387* 7`

`\text{Number of bricks delivered in 7 trips}=2709`

Therefore, Mr. Thomas will have delivered 2709 bricks after 7 trips.
