A worker at a mill is loading 6 lb bags of flower into boxes to deliver to a local warehouse. Each box holds 10 bags of flower. If the warehouse orders 3 tons of flour, how many boxes are needed to furfill the order

100 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of flour weighs 6lbs

Each box holds 10 bags of flour.

Therefore, each box weighs (6X10) lbs = 60 lbs

A warehouse orders 3 tons of flour.

First, we convert 3 tons to lbs.

1 U.S tons=2000 lbs

3 tons = 3 X 2000 lbs =6000lbs

Since each box weighs 60lbs,

The Number of Boxes Required = Total Weight ÷ Weight per Box

= 6000 ÷ 60

=100 boxes

The mill will require 100 boxes to fulfill the order.

answer: there are 453.592 grams in a pound.
