Question 2: Manpreet wants 1500 sacks of cement for making a house. A truck carries 250 sacks at a time. How many trips will the truck make…

Answer:

Total number of sacks of cement needed by Manpreet for making a house = 1500 Number of sacks carried by the truck in 1 trip = 250 Number of sacks carried by the truck in 2 trips = 250 × 2 = 500 Number of sacks carried by the truck in 3 trips = 250 × 3 = 750 Number of sacks carried by the truck in 4 trips = 250 × 4 = 1000 Number of sacks carried by the truck in 5 trips = 250 × 5 = 1250 Number of sacks carried by the truck in 6 trips = 250 × 6 = 1500 ∴ Number of trips made by the truck to carry 1500 sacks = 1500 ÷ 250 = 6 Thus, the truck will make 6 trips to carry 1500 sacks of cement.

Amount charged by the driver for one trip = Rs 500 Number of trips made by the truck = 6 ∴
