Question

a crane cable can support a maximum load of 15,000 kg. if a bucket has a mass of 2,000 kg and gravel has a mass of 1,500 kg for every cubic meter, how many cubic meters of gravel (g) can be safely lifted by the crane?

Answer 1

26/3

Explanation:

i just did it

Answer 2

2000 + 1500g ≤ 15000
1500g ≤ 15000 - 2000
1500g ≤ 13000
g ≤ 13000/1500
g ≤ 8 2/3

Therefore, the crane can safely lift a maximum of 8 2/3 cubic meters of gravel.
