Question

23,780 lb = ? t. A.47,560,000 . B.23 39/50. C.11 89/100. D.12

Answer 1

C.
`11(89)/(100)`

Explanation:

We know that,

1 lb = 0.0005 t, ------(1)

Where, lb represents pounds and t represents tons,

Multiplying both sides of equation (1) by 23780,

We get,

23,780 lb = 23,780 × 0.0005 = 11.89 pounds,

`11.89 = 11 + 0.89 = 11 +(89)/(100)=11(89)/(100)`

Hence,

`1\text{ lb}=11(89)/(100)\text{ t}`

Option C is correct.
