Question

9,000ib= how many ton

Answer 1

Let’s find how much a pound is compared to a ton.
One ton= 2,000 pounds
So the ratio, 1:2,000
Let’s put our problem in the ratio, with T being the amount of tons we need to find.
T:9,000
1:2,000
We need to see the change between the two. So divide 9,000 by 2,000.
9,000/2,000
4.5
1•4.5
9,000 pounds = 4.5 tons

Answer 2

1 Ton= 2000 lbs

2000*4= 8000

1000lb= 1/2 Ton

4 Ton= 8000

9000= 4.5 Ton
