Question:
1212You weigh the truck immediately before and after fueling. Based on the following, determine what percentage of the weight goes to each set of axles.
Before fueling:
steer: 11,450, drives: 33,100, gross: 76,700
After fueling:
steer:11,850, drives: 33,300, gross: 77,300
A
67% went on the steer axle
33% went on the drive axles
33% went on the drive axles
explanation
To determine the percentage of fuel weight added to the steer axle, take the weight added to the steer axle (400 pounds), divide it by the total fuel weight added (600 pounds), and then multiply that times 100.
400/600 = 0.67
0.67 * 100 = 67% fuel weight to the steer tires
100% - 67% = 33% went on the drive axles.
