Mr. Atkinson 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?

5 bags of sand

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 8 elementary schools

3 Tons of sand is needed

It is contained in a 50- Pound bag

1 ton is equivalent to 2000 Pound

No of 50- Pound bag required is

These 40 bags will be required in 8 schools. So, each school requires

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

→c= a b , that is product of a and b is possible only when when a is m × n matrix and b is n × p matrix.

that is, number of columns of a= number of rows of b.

so, size of matrix , c= a b is , if a = (m × n)matrix

b= (n × p)matrix

then a b = [ (m × n)matrix] ×[   (n × p)matrix ]

→→c= a b= [m × p ] matrix

→→size of product a b will be equal to = number of rows of a × number of columns of b
