A cargo master is preparing an air drop bundle. The bundle contains $64$ identical medical supply boxes. Each box weighs exactly $6$ pounds and $4$ ounces. The parachute and rigging equipment add an additional $125$ pounds to the total load. What is the total combined weight, in pounds, of the fully rigged bundle?

Cevap: 525 pounds

Cevap

525

The correct answer is found by first converting the weight of each medical box entirely into pounds. Since there are

16

ounces in a pound,

4

ounces is equal to

\frac{4}{16}

0.25

pounds, making each box

6.25

pounds. Multiplying this weight by the

64

boxes gives a total medical supply weight of

400

pounds. Adding the

125

pounds for the parachute and rigging equipment gives a final total weight of

525

pounds.

Convert the fractional ounces into pounds.

4 ounces = 0.25 pounds, making each box 6.25 pounds.

To standardize the unit of measurement to pounds before calculating the total weight.

Calculate the total weight of all medical boxes.

64 boxes × 6.25 lbs/box = 400 lbs.

To find the aggregate weight of the payload.

Add the weight of the rigging equipment.

400 lbs + 125 lbs = 525 lbs.

The question asks for the total combined weight of the fully rigged bundle.
