a flatbed truck is loaded with 7000 pounds of bricks . how many tons of brick are loaded on the truck
35
i need this in one answer not a fraction i need help
The answer is 3.5
3.5
To convert pounds to tons, you need to divide the weight in pounds by the conversion factor of 2000. Since there are 2000 pounds in a ton.
Let's calculate it:
7000 pounds / 2000 pounds = 3.5 tons
Therefore, there are 3.5 tons of bricks loaded on the flatbed truck.
7000 pounds ( 1 ton / 2000 pounds) = (7/2) tons
(pounds top and bottom cancels :)
