To determine how much the car weighs in tons, we can convert the weight from pounds to tons.
1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds.
So, to convert 3,347 pounds to tons, we divide by 2,000:
\[
3,347 \, \text{pounds} \div 2,000 \, \text{pounds/ton} = 1.6735 \, \text{tons}
\]
Since 1.6735 tons is between 1 and 2 tons, the correct response is:
**between 1 and 2 tons**
