Question

Mustafa’s horse ate 6,400 pounds of hay last year. How could Mustafa determine the number of tons of hay his horse ate last year?

Answer 1

2.9 tons

Explanation:

we know that

`1\ ton=2,204.62\ lb`

To convert pounds to tons divide by 2,204.62

so

`6,400\ lb=(6,400)/(2,204.62)=2.9\ tons`
