Question

A truck is carrying 4 cars weighing an average of 5,000 pounds each.

what is the total weight in ton of the cars on the truck

Answer 1

10 tons

Explanation:

5000 pounds x 4 = 20000 pounds

20000 pounds is the total weight in pounds of the cars on the truck.

Now we just have to convert the weight in pounds to tons.

1 pound = 0.0005 ton

20000 x (0.0005) = 10
