7 T 200 lbs - 2 T 700 lb?

Since we can't subtract 700 from 200, we must borrow an entire ton and convert it to pounds in order to subtract. This means the real problem is 6 T 2200 pounds subtract 2 T 700 pounds. Subtract the tons to get 4 and the pounds to get 1500. Your final answer should be 4 T and 1500 lb. Hope this helps!
