Question

A wheelbarrow weighs 55 pounds. It can carry a load up to 1/2 ton. How many pounds does the wheelbarrow weigh when it is filled to capacity?

Answer 1

1055 lbs.

Explanation:

Since 1 ton is 2000 pounds, half a ton is 1000 pounds. The wheelbarrow weights 55 pounds in itself, so the total weight will be 1000 + 55 = 1055 lbs.
