Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

Answer 2

Sam can take both refrigerators on the elevator in one trip.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of refrigerators to be delivered = 2

Weight of 1 refrigerator = 105 kg

Weight of 2 refrigerator =

`105* 2 = 210\text{ kg}`

Relation:

1 kg = 2.20462 pounds

Converting weight of refrigerators into pounds =

`210* 2.20462 = 462.9702\text{ pounds}`

Weight limit of elevator = 1,000 pounds

Thus, the weight of the two refrigerator does not exceed the weight limit of elevator.

So, Sam can take both refrigerators on the elevator in one trip.
