Given:
1 metric ton = 1000 kg
1 British ton = 2000 lb
Let's determine which has the greater weight.
Convert the metric ton to pounds.
Where:
1 kg = 2.205 pounds
1000 kg = 1000 x 2.205 = 2205 lb
Therefore, we have:
1 metric ton = 2205 lb
1 British ton = 2000 lb
Therefore, the metric ton has the greater weight.
2205 - 2000 = 205 lbs
Therefore, the metric ton is greater than the British ton by 205 lbs.
ANSWER:
The metric ton is greater than the British ton by 205 lbs.
