A moving company charges $0.60 per pound for a move from New York to Florida. A family estimates that their belongings weigh about 6 tons. About how much would it cost the family to move feom New York to Florida?

 

given that :- charges to move from New York to Florida is $0.60 = 1 pound 

family total weight = 6 tons

cost to family move from New York to Florida=?

1 ton = 2000 pounds 

6 ton = 6*2000 pounds

           =12000 pounds (weight of family in pounds)

cost of family moving = total weight of family in pounds * cost of one pound 

                                         =12000*0.60

                                         =$7200

so total cost of family move from New York to Florida is $7200.

A moving company charges $0.60 per pound 

Estimate weight of family is 6 tons 

1 kg = 2.2 pound 

1 ton = 1000 kg

then 6 ton = 1000*6

                   = 6000 kg

Weight in pound = 6000*2.2

                              = 13200 pound 

Then total cost of the family to move from new York to Florida = total weight in pound * moving company charges

                                                                                                       =13200*0.60

                                                                                                       =$22000
