HELP! IT'S OVERDUE! An engineer is building a bridge that should be able to hold a maximum weight of 1 ton. He builds a model of the bridge that is exactly 4 times smaller than the actual bridge. 16 ounces = 1 pound. 2,000 pounds = 1 ton. If a test of the model shows that it holds 8,000 ounces, will the bridge hold 1 ton? 1. 8,000 ounces on the model is equal to (A.32,000 B.35,000 C.80,000) pounds on the actual bridge. 2. Convert ounces to pounds. The actual bridge can hold (A.1,500 B.2,000 C.2,500) pounds. 3. Therefore, the bridge (A.will B.will not) hold one ton. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING
