Question

Mason and his dad are going to build a small retaining wall for the perimeter of their new

pool. They go to the hardware store and purchase 120 bricks that weigh 10 kg each. They
also buy a new statue that weighs about 9,000 kilograms. How much extra weight is in their
pickup truck when they leave the store? State your answer in kilograms.

Answer 1

120 bricks = 10 kg

120 bricks × 10 kg = 1200 kg

1200 kg + 9000 kg = 10200 kg
