Answer:
47/60 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
weight of truck = 2 4/5 tons
load weight = 3 2/3
2 4/5 + 3 2/3
(2 + 3) + (4/5 + 2/3)
5 + (12/15 + 10/15)
5 + 22/15
5 + 1 7/15
6 7/15
total weight of truck and load = 6 7/15
weight limit = 7 1/4
7 1/4 - 6 7/15
(7 - 6) + (1/4 - 7/15)
1 + (15/60 - 28/60)
1 - 13/60
47/60
the truck is 47/60 tons under the limit
