Answer:

0.637 pounds per brick

Explanation:

Given that:

A pickup truck carrying:

10³ identical brick weighs 6770 pounds

If the empty truck weighs 6133 pounds

The weight of each brick can be calculated as follows:

The weight of each brick = The weight of the full pick up truck - the weight of the empty truck

The weight of each brick = 6770 - 6133

The weight of each brick = 637

The pickup truck carrying 10³ identical brick = 1000 identical brick

Thus, the weight of each brick = 637/10³

Thus, the weight of each brick = 0.637 pounds per brick
