$180 per ton to cents per pound (show steps)

Answer 1

keeping in mind that there are 2000 lbs in 1 ton, and that there are 100 cents in $1.


`\bf \cfrac{180\underline{\$}}{\underline{ton}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{ton}}{2000lbs}\cdot \cfrac{100cents}{\underline{\$}}\implies \cfrac{180\cdot 100~cents}{2000~lbs}\implies 9(cents)/(lbs)`
