Mules are slightly smaller than their horse parent, and when they grow they share traits of both a donkey (the long ears), and the horse (color, tail, etc.). A Mule in the grass.
For example, a 2014 Ford F-150 is considered a half ton truck but most variants can carry a lot more than 1,000 pounds in the bed. Since these terms are probably not going away any time soon, it's best just to think of them as smaller, mediumest, and more than medium.. (Pause for laughter).
A load of 10 tons carried 200 miles is thus described as 2,000 ton-miles. Five tons carried 400 miles is also 2,000 ton-miles. In the:first instance, assuming that the load is carried in-a 10-ton lorry which costs 18d. per mile to run, the total.egst of the job-is 3,600d., and the cost per ton 360d.ive tons carried 400 miles is also 2,000 ton-miles.
