Answer 1

This is a very common question that can be found in schools all over the world. 23,780 lb=? is going to be 11 89/100.

Answer 2

Answer:

C.  $11\frac{89}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

1 lb = 0.0005 t, ------(1)

Where, lb represents pounds and t represents tons,

Multiplying both sides of equation (1) by 23780,

We get,

23,780 lb = 23,780 × 0.0005 = 11.89 pounds,

$11.89 = 11 + 0.89 = 11 +\frac{89}{100}=11\frac{89}{100}$

Hence,

$1\text{ lb}=11\frac{89}{100}\text{ t}$

Option C is correct.
