Question

A class 3 truck weighs between 10000 and 14000 pounds. What is the weight range in tons?

Answer 1

Well, 1000 pounds=.5 tons (US), so 2000 pounds equals 1 ton
The range in pounds is 10,000-14,000 for the trucks weight.
10,000/2000=5
14,000/2000=7

Your range in tons is 5-7 US tons

Answer 2

There is 2000 pounds in 1 ton

10000/2000 = 5 tons
14000/2000 = 7 tons

The range in tons is 5 - 7 tons

hope this helps
