Answer:
the elevator is not overloaded.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to convert the rated capacity of the elevator to pounds:
0.6 ton = 0.6 x 2,000 lbs/ton = 1,200 lbs
Next, we need to calculate the total weight of the passengers:
Total weight of children = 4 x 45 lbs = 180 lbs
Total weight of males = 5 x 130 lbs = 650 lbs
Total weight of females = 3 x 122 lbs = 366 lbs
Total weight of passengers = 180 + 650 + 366 = 1,196 lbs
Since the total weight of the passengers is less than the rated capacity of the elevator, the elevator is not overloaded.
To calculate by how much the elevator is not overloaded, we subtract the total weight of the passengers from the rated capacity of the elevator:
1,200 lbs - 1,196 lbs = 4 lbs
Therefore, the elevator is not overloaded and it can still carry an additional weight of 4 lbs.
