From the question

We are to find

6000 lbs per day = how many tons per week

This implies

Per day = 6000 lbs

Hence, in one week we have

one week = 7 times 6000 lbs

one week = 42000lbs

Converting lbs to tons

recall

1 lbs = 0.0005 tons

Hence

42000 lbs = 42000 times 0.0005 ton

42000 lbs = 21 ton

Therefore,

6000 lbs per day = 21 tons per week
