The curb weight of the car is given as 3,347 pounds. 1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds.
Therefore, the weight of the car is less than 2 tons but more than 1 ton.
The answer is option C, between 1 and 2 tons.
To determine the weight of the car, we need to convert the curb weight from pounds to tons.
To do this, we divide the curb weight (3,347 pounds) by the number of pounds in a ton (2,000 pounds).
3,347 pounds / 2,000 pounds = 1.6735 tons
The car weighs approximately 1.67 tons.
Therefore, the answer is option C. The car weighs between 1 and 2 tons.
To determine the weight of the car, we need to convert the curb weight from pounds to tons.
1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds.
So, the car weighs approximately 3,347 pounds ÷ 2,000 pounds/ton ≈ 1.67 tons.
Therefore, the answer is:
C. between 1 and 2 tons
