Question

the mass of a single clay brick is 2 kg. the volume of the same brick is 100 cm³. how many more bricks would you get if you bought a pallet that weighs 200 kg than if you bought a tightly - packed box of bricks with a volume of 2000 cm³?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate number of bricks by weight

The mass of one brick is 2 kg. The pallet weighs 200 kg. So the number of bricks in the pallet $n_1=\frac{200}{2}=100$.

Step2: Calculate number of bricks by volume

The volume of one brick is 100 $cm^3$. The box volume is 2000 $cm^3$. So the number of bricks in the box $n_2 = \frac{2000}{100}=20$.

Step3: Find the difference

To find out how many more bricks from the pallet, we calculate $n_1 - n_2$. So $100 - 20=80$.

Answer:

80
