A baseball weighs 5 ounces and the NY Yankees ordered 3,200 baseballs. How many tons do the baseballs weigh?

3200 baseballs that each weigh 5 ounces means a total of 16000 ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound and 16000/16=1000 pounds. There are 2000 pounds in a ton so the baseballs weigh half a ton.
