a warehouse has 46 truckloads of recycled plastic. they use 8 truckloads each day. when there are a fewer than 16 truckloads, more needs to be ordered. figure out how many truckloads will be left after 2 days.. after 3 days when will more need to be ordered?
To figure out how many truckloads will be left after 2 days, we need to subtract the number of truckloads used during those 2 days from the initial 46 truckloads.
The number of truckloads used per day is 8. So, during 2 days, the total number of truckloads used would be 2 multiplied by 8, which equals 16.
To find out how many truckloads will be left after 2 days, we subtract the total number of truckloads used (16) from the initial number of truckloads (46):
46 - 16 = 30
So, after 2 days, there will be 30 truckloads left.
To determine when more needs to be ordered, we need to consider the condition that states when there are fewer than 16 truckloads remaining.
Let's calculate how many truckloads will be left after 3 days:
The number of truckloads used per day is 8, so during 3 days, the total number of truckloads used would be 3 multiplied by 8, which equals 24.
To find out how many truckloads will be left after 3 days, we subtract the total number of truckloads used (24) from the initial number of truckloads (46):
46 - 24 = 22
After 3 days, there will be 22 truckloads left.
Now, we need to determine when more needs to be ordered. According to the condition, more needs to be ordered when there are fewer than 16 truckloads remaining.
After 3 days, there are still 22 truckloads left, which is more than 16.
So, more truckloads will need to be ordered sometime after the 3rd day.
