Answer:if you mean 2 1/4 then the answer is 4500 by multiplying 2000 by 2.25. If you meant 2 divided by 1/4 then the answer is 16000 by multiplying 8 by 2000. If you mean 2 divided by 1 then divided by 4 then the answer is 500 by multiplying 0.25 by 2000

Answer: The correct answer is 4,500 pounds.

I assume your "2/1/4 tons" is actually 2 1/4 tons.

Explanation:

1 ton = 2,000 pounds

1.25 * 2,000 = 4,500 pounds
