Question

8. Mike is selling his car at a recycling center for scrap

metal. His car weighs 1 ton and 238 lbs. What is the
weight of the car in ounces?

Answer 1

35,808 oz

Explanation:

I assume this is happening in the U.S.A., and a ton is 2000 lb.

Conversion equations:

1 ton = 2000 lb

1 lb = 16 oz

1 ton × (2000 lb)/(ton) × (16 oz)/(lb) + 238 lb × (16 oz)/(lb) =

= 32,000 oz + 3808 oz

= 35,808 oz
