Answer:

elevator can hold 13 person at a time

Given:-

• An elevator will hold 780 kilogram .
• each person weight = 60000 grams

To find:-

• how many people will the elevator hold?

Solution:-

here,

• elavator capacity given in kilogram
• and each person weight in grams

• so we will conver each person weight in gram to killogram

hence,

$as \: wee \: know \\ \\ \frac{60000}{1000} \: \: \: kg \\ \\ 60kg$

Hence

each person weight is = 60 killogram

now to find how many people can elevator hold

$each \: person \: weight = \frac{780}{60} \\ \\ 13$

Hence,

elevator can hold 13 person at a time
