Answer 2

The greater weight is 1000 metric ton and it is greater than a British ton by 205 lb

A metric ton = 1000 kg

British ton = 2000 lb

Converting both measures to the same unit :

• 1 kg = 2.205 lb

A metric ton to pounds = (1000 × 2.205) = 2205 lb

Therefore,

• A metric ton = 2205 lb
• A British ton = 2000 lb

Comparing the weight :

• 2205 > 2000
• 20002205 - 2000 = 205 lb

Therefore, the greater weight is 1000 metric ton and it is greater than a British ton by 205 lb
