Question

Calculate
19.25tons=___lbs.

Answer 1

Answer:

19.25 tons = 38500 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to convert the following given amount of tons in pounds.

We know that, 1 ton = 2000 pounds. So using the ration method, we can convert 19.25 tons into pounds.

$\frac{1 ton}{19.25 tons} =\frac{2000 lbs}{x}$

$x = 2 0 0 0 \times 1 9 . 2 5$

$x = 3 8 5 0 0 lbs$

Therefore, 19.25 tons = 38500 lbs.

Answer 2

Answer: $38,500\ lbs$

In order to answer the question, it is necessary to make the corresponding conversion from 19.29 tons (t) to pounds (lbs).

Then, for this conversion it is important to remember that:

$1\ t=2,000\ lbs$

Finally, knowing this, you can make the conversion:

$(19.25\ t)(\frac{2,000\ lbs}{1\ t})=38,500\ lbs$

Therefore, you get this result:

$19.25\ t=38,500\ lbs$
