Answer:
20 tons
Explanation:
To convert pounds to tons, we need to divide the number of pounds by the number of pounds in a ton.
There are 2,000 pounds in one ton.
To convert 40,000 pounds to tons, we divide 40,000 by 2,000:
40,000 pounds / 2,000 pounds/ton = 20 tons
Therefore, 40,000 pounds is equivalent to 20 tons.
