In the ratio of 5:9 the smaller truck is \"%285%2F%285%2B9%29%29%28100%29\"=35.7%
\n" ); document.write( "And the large truck is \"%289%2F%285%2B9%29%29%28100%29\"=64.3% of the combined total.
\n" ); document.write( "Combined weight=5600lbs so large tuck=0.643(5600lbs)=3600lbs.
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: The large tuck weighs 3600 pounds.
\n" ); document.write( "
