Answer:

The answer is that each brick weights .515 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 to the 3rd power is 10^3 = 1000 bricks.

The weight of the full truck minus the weight of the empty truck is the weight of the bricks:

6755 - 6240 = 515 pounds of bricks

Pounds per brick:

515 / 1000 = .515 pounds per brick.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!
