Answer: The total weight in tons the cars on the truck= 18 tons.
The length of the room exceed the width by 16 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Given: Weight of 1 truck=4500 pounds
Thus, weight of 8 trucks= [tex]8\times4500[/tex] pounds
[tex]=36000\ pounds[/tex]
We know that 1 ton=2000 pounds
Thus, weight of 8 trucks in tons=[tex]\frac{36000}{2000}=18\ tons[/tex]
Hence, the total weight in tons the cars on the truck= 18 tons.
b) Given: Dimensions of the room are as
Length=10 yards and width= 168 inches
We know that 1 yard=3 feet and 1 inch=[tex]\frac{1}{12}\ foot[/tex]
Thus, length[tex]=10\times3=30\ feet[/tex]
width=[tex]168\times\frac{1}{12}=14\ feet[/tex]
The difference between length and width=[tex]length-width=30-14=16\ feet[/tex]
Hence, the length of the room exceed the width by 16 feet.
