It depends on which ton you mean:
1 pound is 1/2240 of an Imperial ton.
a metric ton = 2204.62262
Because a ton is much greater than a pound.
6.25 tons is 125,000 pounds. (1 US ton is 2,000 pounds).
there are 2000 lbm in 1 ton (T). there are 2000 lbm in 1 ton (T).
There are 2,000 pounds in a ton. A ton is bigger than a pound. So there is (1/2000) pounds in a ton.
1 metric ton =2204.62262 pound
Since there are 2,000 pounds in one ton (one short ton), the corollary is that there is 1/2000 of a ton in a pound (or .0005 tons in a pound).
To convert price from dollars per ton to dollars per pound, we need to know the weight of a ton in pounds. Since there are 2000 pounds in a ton, to determine the price per pound, we divide $100 by 2000 to get $0.05 per pound.
2,000 pounds
1 ton = 2,000 pounds 1 pound = 0.0005 ton
ton = 2000lb so 2000lb + 700lb = 2700lb.
