eggs are shipped fro the poultry farm in trucks each carton of eggs twelve eggs tha carton are then placed in a crate that holds 20 cartons the carton are packed in trucks that carry 3125 crates of eggs how many truckloads will it take to carry 3.75*10^6

Answer 1

To find how many truckloads are required to carry 3.75*10^6 eggs, we need to calculate the total number of eggs that can be carried in one truckload and then divide the total number of eggs by this amount.

First, let's find the number of eggs that can be carried in one truckload:

- Each crate holds 20 cartons.
- Each carton holds 12 eggs.
- Therefore, each crate holds 20 * 12 = 240 eggs.

Now, let's find the number of crates that can be carried in one truckload:

- Each truck carries 3125 crates.

Finally, let's multiply these two numbers together to find the number of eggs per truckload:

- 3125 crates/truck * 240 eggs/crate = 750,000 eggs/truck.

Now we can divide the total number of eggs (3.75*10^6) by the number of eggs per truckload (750,000) to find how many truckloads are required:

- (3.75*10^6 eggs) / (750,000 eggs/truck) = 5 truckloads.

Therefore, it will take 5 truckloads to carry 3.75*10^6 eggs.
