Tara is delivering bags of mulch. Each bag weighs 48 pounds, and the push cart weighs 65 pounds. If her flat-bed truck is capable of hauling 2000 pounds, how many bags of mulch can Tara safely take on each trip?
Since the cart can only handle up to 65 pounds, and 48*2=96, one bag per load would be the safest option.And her truck would only be able to carry 41 bags because 2,000/48 is 41.67.
