Airplane Cargo Applications

This worksheet challenges students to use mathematical reasoning to solve cargo-loading and flight-planning problems. Each scenario describes an airplane’s cargo, fuel, or route, and students must calculate unknown values such as total weight, remaining capacity, or distance. Learners apply addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and algebraic equations to find solutions. The problems reinforce understanding of volume, weight, and proportional reasoning while integrating real-world applications in aviation logistics and safety. Students gain experience with metric units and learn to interpret quantitative relationships in complex, realistic settings.
