Asign at the entrance to a bridge reads maximum allowable weight 2.25 tons jason's truck weighs 2150 pounds how much additional weight can he carry

Maximum amount of allowable tons for Jason truck is

2.25-1.075= 1.175 tons

In pounds= 2350 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason truck weighs 2150 pounds.

But 2000 pounds = 1 ton

So

2150 pounds = 2150/2000

2150 pounds = 1.075 tons.

But the brigde reads not more than 2.25 tons.

Maximum amount of allowable tons for Jason truck is

2.25-1.075= 1.175 tons

In pounds = 1.175*2000

In pounds= 2350 pounds
