Question

The weight of Ms. Winters' car is 3,807 pounds. What is another way to express this weight? (1 T = 2,000 lb)

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight of Ms. Winter's car is 1.9035 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Total weight of Ms. Winter's car = 3807 pounds

It has been given in the question that 2000 pounds = 1 ton

So we will use this conversion factor to express the weight in tons.

By using unitary method,

∵ 2000 pounds = 1 Ton

∴ 1 pound = $\frac{1}{2000}$ Ton

∴ 3807 pounds = $\frac{3807}{2000}$

                          = 1.9035 Tons

Therefore, weight of Ms. Winter's car is 1.9035 tons.
