Answer:
Mr. Lopez delivers 1.5 tons of dog food to the animal shelter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr Lopez picks up 2 pallets of dog food to deliver to the animal shelter. Each pallet contains 40 bags of dog food, and the dog food weighs 37 1/2 pounds pet bag.
The weight of 1 bag of dog food = [tex]37\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds }[/tex]
The weight of 40 bags of dog food = [tex]40 \times 37\frac{1}{2} =1500 \text{ pounds }[/tex]
Each pallet weighs = 1500 pounds
2 pallets weighs = 1500×2=3000 pounds.
We know that 2000 pounds = 1 ton
[tex]\frac{3000}{2000} \text{ pounds}=1.5 \text{ tons}[/tex]
Hence, Mr. Lopez delivers 1.5 tons of dog food to the animal shelter.
