Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
A railroad container can hold weight=42,000 pounds
Total number of ovens for ship=90
Weight of each oven=200 lbs
Weight of each freezer=600 pounds
We have to find the number of freezer can be shipped in the container.
Let x be the number of freezer can be shipped in the container.
According to question
[tex]42000=90(200)+600x[/tex]
[tex]42000=18000+600x[/tex]
[tex]600x=42000-18000[/tex]
[tex]600x=24000[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{24000}{600}=40[/tex]
Hence, 40 freezer can be shipped in the container.
