Question

1. Darren's car weighs 1.25 tons. How many pounds does his car weigh?

Answer 1

We are given that:

Darren's car weighs 1.25 tons

To know how much the car weighs in pounds, we will calculate as shown below:

`\begin{gathered} 1ton=2,000lb \\ 1.25ton=x \\ \text{Cross multiply, we have:} \\ x\cdot1=1.25*2,000 \\ x=2,500lb \\ \\ \therefore x=2,500lb \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Darren's car weighs 2,500 pounds
