The number of trucks is 205 trucks

What is the specific gravity?

The specific gravity refers to the ratio of the density of an object to the  density of water. This implies that the density of the object is 0.00325 g/cm^3.

Now;

Density = mass/volume

volume of the object = 48.0ft ^3 or 1.359 * 10^6 cm^3

Thus we can obtain the mass of the object from;

mass = density * volume =  0.00325 g/cm^3 * 1.359 * 10^6 cm^3

= 4417 g

We have to convert 1 ton to gram and have 907185 g

The number of trucks that we need to transport this quantity is;

907185 g/4417 g = 205 trucks
