Answer:
5400 cans
Explanation:
First we convert the total weight, 1 ton, to grams:
[tex]1ton=1x10^{6}g[/tex]
Now we need to know the mass of aluminum:
[tex]m_{Al}=\frac{10^{6}*8.1}{100} =81000g[/tex]
Now we make the relation between the mass of aluminum in 1 ton of the earth's crust and the mass of aluminum per can:
[tex]n=\frac{81000g}{15g/can} =5400cans[/tex]
5,400 cans could be made from 1 ton of the Earth’s crust of aluminum.
How we calculate the number of cans?
We can calculate the number of cans by dividing the total mass of aluminum in earth's crust to the mass of aluminum in one can.
We know that relation between tons and gram is as follow:
1 ton = 10⁶ grams
Given % mass of aluminum = 8.1%
Now, the mass of aluminum in 1 ton can be calculated as:
mass = 8.1 × 10⁶ / 100 = 81,000 grams
Given mass of aluminum in one can = 15 grams
Therefore number of cans = 81,000 / 15 = 5,400
Hence, 5,400 cans can be made.
