Your race car weighs 1.5 tons. to make the car faster, you replaced the steel body with carbon-fiber and reduced the weight by 300 pounds. how much does your race car weigh now?

1.5 tons = 3,000 lb

3,000 lb − 300 lb = 2,700 lb = 1 ton and 700 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

a. -0.3 > -0.33

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
