The curb weight of a new car is 3,347 pounds. How much does the car weigh?

Question

less than 1 ton
between 3 and 4 tons
between 1 and 2 tons
between 2 and 3 tons

Answer 1

To determine how much the car weighs in tons, we can convert its weight from pounds to tons.

1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds.

Now, we can convert the car's weight:

\[ \text{Weight in tons} = \frac{\text{Weight in pounds}}{2000} = \frac{3,347}{2,000} \approx 1.6735 \text{ tons} \]

This means the car weighs between 1 and 2 tons.

So, the correct answer is between 1 and 2 tons.
