Question

Your race car weighs 1.5 tons. To make the car faster, you replaced the steel body with carbon-fiber and reduced the weight by 300 pounds. How much does your race car weigh now? ton and pounds

Answer 1

Answer:

1 ton and 700 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5 tons = 3,000 lb

3,000 lb − 300 lb = 2,700 lb = 1 ton and 700 lb

Answer 2

2000 Pounds in a ton. 1.5 is 1 and a half. 2000/2 = 1000. 2000 + 1000 = 3000. 1.5 tons = 3k pounds. You reduce the weight of the car by 300 pounds. 3000 - 300 = 2700.
Your car weighs 2,700 pounds.
2,700 pounds is also equal to 1.35 tons
