Answer: 240 minutes, 20 cups, 4000 pounds

Explanation:

Use the following conversions:

1 hour = 60 minutes

2 cups = 1 pint

2 pints = 1 quart

1 ton = 2000 pounds


4\ hours* (60\ minutes)/(1\ hour)=\large\boxed{240\ minutes}\\\\\\\\5\ quarts * (2\ pints)/(1\ quart)* (2\ cups)/(1\ pint)=\large\boxed{20\ cups}\\\\\\\\2\ tons* (2000\ pounds)/(1\ ton)=\large\boxed{4000\ pounds}
