To determine the weight of the tractor trailer in tons, we need to convert pounds to tons.
First, let's recall that there are 2,000 pounds in a ton.
To convert pounds to tons, divide the weight in pounds by 2,000.
In this case, the weight of the tractor trailer is 2.08 * 10^4 pounds.
Dividing this weight by 2,000 gives us:
2.08 * 10^4 pounds / 2,000 = 10.4 tons
Therefore, the tractor trailer weighs 10.4 tons.
