Question

What is 3 3/8 tons equal to in pounds?

Answer 1

1 ton is equivalent to 2000 pounds

we have to find how many pounds 3 3/8 tons are equal to

if 1 ton --> 2000 pounds

we can break down the fraction into 3 + 3/8

then 3 tons --> 2000 x 3 = 6000 pounds

3/8 ton ---> 2000 x 3/8 = $\frac{3*2000}{8} = \frac{6000}{8} = 750 pounds$

after adding 6000 + 750 = 6750 pounds

answer is 6750 pounds

Answer 2

1 ton = 2000 pounds

so 3 3/8 tons = 2000 x 3 3/8

= 6750 pounds

So 3 3/8 tons = 6750 pounds
