Answer:

There are 4,626 apples in the truck.

Explanation:

Mass of  5 apples = 1250

Mass of an apple = [tex]\frac{1250 g}{5}=250 g[/tex]

Mass of apples in the truck = 2550 lbs

1 lbs = 453.592 g

[tex]2550 lbs=2550\times 453.592 g[/tex]

Let the number of apples with mass of 2550 lbs be a.

[tex]a\times 250 g=2550\times 453.592 g[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{2550\times 453.592 g}{250 g}=4,626.63[/tex]

4,626.63 ≈ 4,626

So, there are 4,626 apples in the truck.
