A homeowner needs two loads of gravel for the driveway to their new house. One loads weighs 8 tons and the second load
weighs 1,200 pounds. What is the total weight of the gravel, in tons, used for the driveway?

Respuesta :

Total weight of the gravel, in tons used for the driveway is 8.6 tons

Weight of first load = 8 tons

Weight of second load = 1200 pounds

Convert pounds to tons:

1 pound = 0.0005 ton

1200 pounds = 0.6 ton

Then,

Weight of second load = 0.6 ton

Total weight of the gravel, in tons = Weight of first load + Weight of second load

= 8 tons + 0.6 tons

= 8.6 tons
