Answer:

1.6

Explanation:

You multiply 80 x 40 and get 3200 lbs and divide it by 2000 lbs because 2000 lbs is 1 ton so then you get 1.6 as your answer.

Answer:

1.6 tons

Explanation:

First, find the weight in pounds:

80(40)

= 3,200

Convert this to tons by dividing it by 2000, since there are 2000 pounds in a ton:

3200/2000

= 1.6

So, the total weight was 1.6 tons
