Answer:

Each car weighs 2,265 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the car carrier weighs 35,000 pounds when empty, that is, without cars, and that loading 7 cars its weight is 50,855 pounds, the difference between both values implies the weight of the 7 cars together, which is determined through the following calculation:

50,855 - 35,000 = X

15.855 = X

Thus, the weight of the 7 cars together is 15,855 pounds. In turn, the weight of each particular car is determined from the following division:

15.855 / 7 = X

2,265 = X

Therefore, each car weighs about 2,265 pounds.

Please help will mark brainliest<br>answer whatever you can​
Drupady [299]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not allowed to answer more than 3 questions.  So I will do the first 3.

15a. i)  (2/3) = 4/9

      ii)  (2/3) = 8/27

      iii)  (2/3) = 16/81

  b.  The product is small because you are finding the fraction of a fraction.

16.  Compared to the factors, the product is less than each fraction.  This is because, as stated above, you are trying to find a fraction (a part of the whole) of another fraction.  When you multiply a whole number by a fraction, the whole number decreases.  The same applies to a fraction.

17a.  0.4 × 0.3 = 0.12

  b.  0.4 = 4/10 = 2/5

       0.3 = 3/10

       3/10 × 2/5 = 6/50
