Answer:

3 pounds and 3/4th of a pound

Explanation:

2000 x 3 is 6000 and you have 1500 left

you can divide 2000 equally by 4 and get 500.

Multiply 500x3 and get 1500

(the 3 and the 4 is how i got the fraction)

6000+1500 = 7500

boom big brain answer good luck

In this question, we know that 1 ton = 2000

We're trying to find how many tons is 7500 tons.

In order to find your answer, you would divide 7500 by 2000 in order to know how many tons there are.

Divide:

7500 ÷ 2000 = 3.75

This means that there are 3.75 tons in 7500 pounds

Answer:

3.75 tons
