Question

The Eagle trucking company must deliver 7/8 ton of cement blocks and 5/8 ton of bricks to one place. How much will this load weigh?

Answer 1

If my understanding is correct, and there are no other details left out for this question, this is just addition of fractions.

7/8 ton of cement + 5/8 ton of bricks would be equal to 12/8 tons of load.
Simplifying this further will give us 3/2 tons or 1 1/2 tons of load.
