Question

A truck is carrying 3 tons of cement and 150 pounds of bricks. How many pounds does the truck's load weigh in total

Answer 1

Answer:
`6,150 \text{ pounds}`

Explanation:

Given: The weight of cement = 3 tons

The weight of bricks = 150 pounds

We know that
`\text{1 ton = 2,000 pounds}`

Therefore,
`\text{3 tons}=3*2,000=6,000`

Now, the total weight of load in truck =
`150+6,000=6,150\text{ pounds}`

Hence, the truck's load weigh in total = 6,150 pounds.
