You need to haul a load of patio bricks to a job site. each brick weighs 4 pounds 14 ounces. your truck can carry a 3/4-ton load

To solve this problem, we need to convert the measurements so we can carry out the necessary calculations. A ton equals 2000 pounds, therefore, 3/4 ton translates to 1500 pounds. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, 4 pounds and 14 ounces amounts to 4.875 pounds. To find the number of bricks, we divide:
                                     number of bricks = 1500 lbs / 4.875 lbs
                                                            = 307.7

Consequently, this is the number of bricks required. The final answer is approximately.
