The mass of the loaded van is 16 tons 100 kg, and the mass of the cargo is four-sevenths of the total mass. What is the unladen weight of a van?
We translate the total weight of the van with cargo in kilograms.
16 tons 100 kg = 16100 kg.
We find the mass of the load.
To do this, multiply the total mass of the cargo van with the specified part in the condition.
Will be:
16100 * 4/7 = 4 * 2300 = 9200 kg.
Find the weight of the van.
To do this, it is necessary to subtract the weight of the cargo from the total mass of the van with the cargo.
As a result, we get:
16100 – 9200 = 6900 kg.
If we convert the mass of the van into tons, it will be:
6900/1000 = 6.9 tons.
Answer: The van weighs 6900 kg or 6.9 tons.
