Problem of the Day, version 2.0

Here is the problem of the day for February 17:

Metro Louisville trucks have spread 5,600 pounds (lbs.) of road salt over the last 2 days in Louisville.  How much road salt did they disperse each day?   If the city has 9 salt trucks, about how many pounds of salt can each truck carry each day?

Remember to use RUBS first...you may solve using any strategy (hint: standard algorithm or partial quotient are the ones we looked at closely in the fall!)
