    Step-by-step explanation:

    total weight is 4 tons.

    ratio of weight of truck to weight of coal is 7:5 ... added = 12

    so 7/12 of the total weight is the truck's

    and 5/12 of the total weight is the coal

    7/12 of 4 tons = 7/12 * 4 = 28/12 = 2 1/3 tons <= = weight of truck

    5/12 of 4 tons = 5/12 * 4 = 20/12 = 1 2/3 tons <= = weight of coal
