Answer:
38500lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
2000 lbs is one tone
if we have 19.25 tons, we need to multiply 19.25x2000
The answer is 38500 lb
38,500 pounds
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.
