Question

Convert the following measurements. a. 22 tons to pounds b. 13 pounds to ounces c. 90,320 ounces to pounds d. 24,000 pounds to tons

Answer 1

there are 2000 pounds in a ton so 22 times 2000 is 44000 pounds
there are 16 ounces in a pound so 13 times 16 is 208 ounces
there are 0.0005 tons in a pound so 24,000 times 0.0005 is 12 tons

Answer 2

For this case we have to know the following conversions:
 1 ton = 2204.62 pounds
 1 oz = 0.0625 pounds
 Now we apply the conversions:

 22 tons to pounds:
 (22)*(2204.62) = 48501.64 pounds

 13 pounds to ounces:
 (13)*(1/0.0625) = 208 oz

 90,320 ounces to pounds:
 (90320)*(0.0625) = 5645

 24,000 pounds to tons:
 (24000)*(1/2204.62) = 10.88 tons
