Mr. McLean manages playgrounds for the 8 elementary schools in the Franklin School District. This year, he wants to put new sandboxes at each of the schools. He estimates that he will need 3 tons of sand for this project. How many 50-pound bags of sand should he order for each school?

Respuesta :

he should order 120 bags for each school
He will need 15 sandbags per school

3 tons = 6000

6000/8= 750lbs for each school
750/50=15 (50#) bags needed
