Question

$\text{The weight of a shipment truck is 5 tonne}$ $\text{and 500 kg. Choose the weight in}$ $\text{kilograms.}$

• A. $\text{5,005 kg}$
• B. $\text{5,000 kg}$
• C. $\text{5,500 kg}$
• D. $\text{5,050 kg}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\text{5,500 kg}$

$\text{The weight of the shipment truck}$ $\text{= 5 tonne 500 kg}$

$\text{We have to calculate the total weight}$ $\text{in kilograms.}$

$\text{So, let's convert the tonne into}$ $\text{kilograms.}$

$\text{As we know that,}$
$\text{1 tonne (T) = 1,000 kilograms (kg)}$


$\text{Hence, 5 tonne will be equal to:}$

$⟹\text{5}\times 1,000\text{= 5,000 kg}$

$\text{Now, let's calculate the total weight}$ $\text{of the truck.}$

$⟹\text{5,000 + 500 = 5,500 kg}$

$\text{Thus, the total weight of the shipment}$ $\text{truck is 5,500 kg.}$
