Question

A tractor trailer weighs 80,000 pounds. Two tractor trailers come upon a bridge with a sign saying it can only handle 100 tons. How many tons are still available before the bridge reaches its weight limit?
How many tons are there. ONLY TONS!

Answer 1

Answer:

there are 20 tons before the bridge reaches its limit because you get 80 tons in total weight

Step-by-step explanation:

you would first multiply 80,000 pounds by 2 which gives you 160,000 pounds then you divide that by 2,000 because a ton is equal to 2,000 pounds
