First we will convert it
15 tons = 30,000pounds
65,000-5000= 60,000 pounds
So if one crib jack can carry 30,000 pounds,How many crib jacks will be needed to carry 60,000 pounds?
30,000 x 2 = 60,000
Ans= Two crib jacks will be needed to carry Henry’s house which weighs 60,000 pounds after taking out belongings which weigh 5,000 pounds
