Answer key: Tons to Pounds worksheet

1. In US short tons: 1e-3 short tn
1. The official definition goes the other way: 1 short tn is exactly 2,000 lb
  $1 short tn$ $= 2,000 lb$
2. So divide your pounds by 2,000 to get US short tons
  $\frac{2 lb}{2,000}$ $= 0.001 short tn$
3. Or multiply by 0.0005 instead. It gives the same answer, because 1 ÷ 2,000 = 0.0005
  $2 lb \times 0.0005$ $= 0.001 short tn$
2. In pounds: 4,000 lb
1. Start with the conversion factor: 1 short tn is exactly 2,000 lb
  $1 short tn$ $= 2,000 lb$
2. Multiply your US short tons by 2,000 to get pounds
  $2 short tn \times 2,000$ $= 4,000 lb$
3. In pounds: 2,000 lb
1. Start with the conversion factor: 1 short tn is exactly 2,000 lb
  $1 short tn$ $= 2,000 lb$
2. Multiply your US short tons by 2,000 to get pounds
  $1 short tn \times 2,000$ $= 2,000 lb$
4. In pounds: 6,000 lb
1. Start with the conversion factor: 1 short tn is exactly 2,000 lb
  $1 short tn$ $= 2,000 lb$
2. Multiply your US short tons by 2,000 to get pounds
  $3 short tn \times 2,000$ $= 6,000 lb$
5. In US short tons: 1.5e-3 short tn
1. The official definition goes the other way: 1 short tn is exactly 2,000 lb
  $1 short tn$ $= 2,000 lb$
2. So divide your pounds by 2,000 to get US short tons
  $\frac{3 lb}{2,000}$ $= 0.0015 short tn$
3. Or multiply by 0.0005 instead. It gives the same answer, because 1 ÷ 2,000 = 0.0005
  $3 lb \times 0.0005$ $= 0.0015 short tn$
6. In pounds: 8,000 lb
1. Start with the conversion factor: 1 short tn is exactly 2,000 lb
  $1 short tn$ $= 2,000 lb$
2. Multiply your US short tons by 2,000 to get pounds
  $4 short tn \times 2,000$ $= 8,000 lb$
7. In US short tons: 5e-4 short tn
1. The official definition goes the other way: 1 short tn is exactly 2,000 lb
  $1 short tn$ $= 2,000 lb$
2. So divide your pounds by 2,000 to get US short tons
  $\frac{1 lb}{2,000}$ $= 0.0005 short tn$
3. Or multiply by 0.0005 instead. It gives the same answer, because 1 ÷ 2,000 = 0.0005
  $1 lb \times 0.0005$ $= 0.0005 short tn$
8. In US short tons: 2e-3 short tn
1. The official definition goes the other way: 1 short tn is exactly 2,000 lb
  $1 short tn$ $= 2,000 lb$
2. So divide your pounds by 2,000 to get US short tons
  $\frac{4 lb}{2,000}$ $= 0.002 short tn$
3. Or multiply by 0.0005 instead. It gives the same answer, because 1 ÷ 2,000 = 0.0005
  $4 lb \times 0.0005$ $= 0.002 short tn$
9. In US short tons: 2.5e-3 short tn
1. The official definition goes the other way: 1 short tn is exactly 2,000 lb
  $1 short tn$ $= 2,000 lb$
2. So divide your pounds by 2,000 to get US short tons
  $\frac{5 lb}{2,000}$ $= 0.0025 short tn$
3. Or multiply by 0.0005 instead. It gives the same answer, because 1 ÷ 2,000 = 0.0005
  $5 lb \times 0.0005$ $= 0.0025 short tn$
