Question

A certain truck weighs 2 metric tons. A person weighing 60 kilograms gets in the truck, followed by a 70 kilogram person. How many kilograms does the truck weigh with both people inside?

Answer 1

So 1 metric ton is equal to 1,000 kilograms.

You have two trucks, so 1,000 x 2 = 2,000

Add the weight of the two people together.

60 + 70 = 130

Add the truck weight and the weight of the people together.

2,000 + 130 = 2,130

The truck weighs 2,130 kilograms
