Answer:
71,400
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Given, the crops and their weight:
apples = 40 lbs
sweet potatoes = 60 lbs
tangerines = 40 lbs
summer squash = 65 lbs
2) The Truck is carrying:
10² bushels of sweet potatoes = 60 x 100 = 6,000 lbs
10¹ bushels of tangerines = 40 x 10 = 400 lbs
10³ bushels of summer squash = 65 x 1000 = 65,000 lbs
3) All together, the total weight of the crops are:
6,000 lbs + 400 lbs + 65,000 lbs = 71,400 lbs.
The total weight of the crops is 71,400 lbs.
