\(8 \frac{3}{8}\) tons = \(\frac{67}{8}\) tons
The total for \(8\) trucks \(= 67\) tons
\(7 \frac{1}{4}\) tons \(= \frac{29}{4}\) tons
The total for \(4\) trucks \(= 29\) tons
Average = \(\frac{67+29}{12} = 8\)
Answer D
The total for \(8\) trucks \(= 67\) tons
\(7 \frac{1}{4}\) tons \(= \frac{29}{4}\) tons
The total for \(4\) trucks \(= 29\) tons
Average = \(\frac{67+29}{12} = 8\)
