Answer 1

To convert 2 and 3 over 4 tons to pounds, multiply by 2000. The answer is 5500 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert tons to pounds, we multiply the number of tons by 2000, since 1 ton is equal to 2000 pounds.

So, 2 and 3 over 4 tons can be written as 2.75 tons.

Calculating, 2.75 * 2000 = 5500.

Therefore, there are 5500 pounds in 2 and 3 over 4 tons.
