Answer 2

Answer:

38,500 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Every ton is 2,000 pounds.

We want to find out how many pounds are in 19.25 tons.

Set up a proportion.

pounds/tons=pounds/tons

2,000 pounds/ 1 ton= x pounds / 19.25 tons

2,000/1= x  /19.25

x is being divided by 19.25. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 19.25.

19.25*2,000/1= x/19.25 *19.25

19.25*2000=x

38,500=x

There are 38,500 pounds in 19.25 tons.
