Question

$\text{The weight of a shipment truck is 5 tons}$ $\text{and 1000 pounds. Choose the weight in}$ $\text{pounds.}$

• A. $\text{10,010 lbs}$
• B. $\text{10,001 lbs}$
• C. $\text{11,000 lbs}$
• D. $\text{10,100 lbs}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\text{11,000 lbs}$

$\text{The weight of the shipment truck}$ $\text{= 5 tons 1,000 pounds}$

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

$\text{So, let's convert the tons into}$ $\text{pounds.}$

$\text{As we know that,}$
$\text{1 ton (T) = 2,000 pounds (lbs)}$


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

$⟹\text{5}\times 2,000\text{= 10,000 lbs}$

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

$⟹\text{10,000 + 1,000 = 11,000 lbs}$

$\text{Thus, the total weight of the shipment}$ $\text{truck is 11,000 lbs.}$
