Hi there !
Question :
A truck is carrying 3 tons of cement and 150 pounds of bricks. How many pounds does the truck's load weigh in total?
Solution :
3 tons + 150 pounds = ... pounds
We know 1 kg = 2 pounds
1 tons = 1.000 × 2 pounds
1 tons = 2.000 pounds
Truck is carrying 3 tons of cement
3 × 2.000 pounds
6.000 pounds
Ads up 6.000 pounds to 150 pounds
6.000 pounds + 150 pounds
6.150 pounds
Answer :
Total truck's load is 6.150 pounds
