B.

C.

D.

Respuesta :

1 ton = 2000 lb.

3347 lb is between 1 ton (2000 lb) and 2 tons (4000 lb).  Answer is C.

Given that the curb weight of a new car is = 3347 pounds

Now we have to find the correct choice for the given weight of the car.

Given value is in pound while the choices are in ton.

Units are different so first task will be to get same units.

We know that 1 ton = 2000 pound

so to convert 3347 pound into ton, we will divide 3347 by 2000 and get 1.6735 ton.

Which lies between 1 and 2.

Hence final answer will be (c) between 1 and 2 tons.
