2000x30=60000

Answer 2

52000 pounds

Explanation:

On ton is equivalent to 2000 pounds.

We can use this information to set up a unit converter. See the format for a unit converter below:

`\text{Unit We Have}\ \cdot\ \frac{\text{Unit We Want}}{\text{Unit We Have}}`

Substitute the given values into the equation:

`26\text{ tons}\ \cdot\ \frac{2000 \text{ pounds}}{1 \text{ ton}}=26\ \cdot\ 2000 \text{ pounds}=52000 \text{ pounds}`

The truck weighs about 52000 pounds.
