darnell rented a moving truck. the weight of the empty truck was 7,860 pounds. when darrell filled the truck with his items, it weighed 6 tons. what was the weight in pounds of the items that Darrelll placed in the truck?

1 ton = 2,000 pounds

12,000

4,140 pounds

To find the weight in pounds of the items that Darnell placed in the truck, we need to calculate the difference between the weight of the loaded truck and the weight of the empty truck.

1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds. So, the weight of the loaded truck in pounds can be calculated as:

Weight of loaded truck = Weight of empty truck + Weight of items
Weight of loaded truck = 7,860 pounds + 6 tons * 2,000 pounds/ton

First, we need to convert the weight of 6 tons to pounds:

6 tons * 2,000 pounds/ton = 12,000 pounds

Then, we can substitute this value into the equation:

Weight of loaded truck = 7,860 pounds + 12,000 pounds
Weight of loaded truck = 19,860 pounds

Therefore, the weight of the items that Darnell placed in the truck was 19,860 pounds.
