Question

19.25 tons equal Lbs

Answer 1

38,500 pounds

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.
