Answer 2

According to the information provided in the question.

It is stated in the preceding question that,

The presented information is a truck can carry 475bags of cement.

We need to find how many trucks will be needed to carry 58425 bags of cement.

Thus let the number of truck carry cement bag be x,

So, $1\:truck=475\: bags$

Therefore $x \:truck =58425$

The number of truck will be,

$x=\frac{58425}{475} \\x=123$

Hence 123 trucks will be needed to carry 58425 bags of cement.
