I'm pretty sure that u multiply 12 and 5 and u get 60 and that's in only one box just 60lbs then u find how many pounds in a ton which is 2,000 then u have 3 tons so multiple 2,000 and 3 and u get 6,000 so then u divide 60 and 6,000 and u get 100 I'm pretty sure that's how u do it

3tons=6,000pounds
12×5=60
6,000÷60= 100
