Question 1

How far? Carol Ann Harle\'s new car traveled 105 mi on 5 gal of gasoline. How many kilometers can Carol Ann\'s car travel with the same amount of gasoline?

Question 2

Weight Restriction. The weight restriction on a road in Italy is 7.5 tons.

            a)         How many tons does this weight equal?

            b)         How many pounds?

Solution

1

  kg=lb X kg/lb
kg=9 X 1/2.2046
kg=4.08 .

in.=mm X in/mm
in=765 X 1/25.4in.=30.12

km= miles X km/mile
km= 105 X 1/0.62137
km=168.98

Cannot be done as worded. Gallons measures volume, kilometers
measures distance. It\'s like asking \"how long is a quart of milk\"?

A

First take the weight in pounds and multiply by 453.59. The resulting number is the weight in grams. To convert grams to kilograms, simply divide by 1000. Or, an easier option is to take the weight given in pounds and multiply by 0.45359. In this case the answer is 3.4 kilograms

Most of the roads around our village have the 7.5tonne limit but for the many drivers of heavy vehicles that use the roads here as a short-cut the chances of being caught are almost nil, thus lots of overweight vehicles pass through every day.

Much the same with the many \'no cycling\' signs in the nearby town...........................

As for the OP\'s question, \".....look like\", google \'7.5 tonne lorry\' and you\'ll see lots of examples.

A 7.5 tonner can look quite big (think Argos local delivery size) but the giveaway is the wheels, quite small on a 7.5 but much bigger and chunky on 10 tonne and up.

B)

7.5tons. = 16534.6697 pounds
