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

Weight of Ms. Winter's car is 1.9035 tons

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 =
`(1)/(2000)` Ton

∴ 3807 pounds =
`(3807)/(2000)`

= 1.9035 Tons

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