We are given that:
Darren's car weighs 1.25 tons
To know how much the car weighs in pounds, we will calculate as shown below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1ton=2,000lb \\ 1.25ton=x \\ \text{Cross multiply, we have:} \\ x\cdot1=1.25\times2,000 \\ x=2,500lb \\ \\ \therefore x=2,500lb \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, Darren's car weighs 2,500 pounds
