Answer:
Here is the C++ program
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
double tonne = 2205;
double container_capacity;
cout << "Enter amount of wheat in pounds that a contained can hold: ";
cin >> container_capacity;
cout << "Number of containers needed to store one metric ton of wheat: " << tonne / container_capacity ; }
Explanation:
- In the body of main function, the first statement declares a double type variable tonne and assigns it a value of 2205 as it is given in the question that one metric ton is equal to 2205 pounds approx. Metric ton is also called tonne that's why i used tonne variable name in the program.
- Next statement declares the variable container_capacity which stores the amount of wheat a container can hold.
- Next the program prompts the user to enter amount of wheat that a container can hold.
- Next statement stores that input value (amount of wheat that container can hold).
- Last statement calculates and outputs the no. of containers required to store a tonne of wheat.
- The formula divides the value of one tonne i.e. 2205 by the capacity of the container to get no. of containers required to store one tonne of wheat.
- Suppose the container_capacity= 500
- So number of containers needed to store one metric ton of wheat is
tonne / container_capacity = 2205/500 = 4.41
