A pound is a smaller unit of weight, so you could be more precise using it.
A ton is just two-thousand pounds.
5 tons
Depends on how deep the ponds are.
4000 pounds = 2 tons
750 pounds is equal to 0.375 tons.
nope, 9 tons and 18000 ponds equal the same ammount
A ton - a metric ton to be more precise - has a million grams.
No. Those are equal weights.
Cars are typically weighed in pounds or kilograms. One ton is equal to approximately 2,000 pounds, so for heavier vehicles, it may be more practical to use tons for measurement.
2 t(US) = 4000 lb
On ton is 2,000 pounds so just divide 18,000 by 2,000 or 18 by 2 and you discover that there are 9 tons in 18,000 pounds
Well, let's think about this in a happy little way. 9 tons is actually more than 18001 pounds. You see, 1 ton is equal to 2000 pounds, so 9 tons would be 18000 pounds, which is greater than 18001 pounds. Just remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents.
Unfortunately, there is not a simple answer: it depends on what you mean by "more precise". Both have three significant figures and to that extend they are equally precise. However, the maximum possible percentage errors in the two measurements are approximately 100*0.05/42.3 = 0.12% and 100*0.05/35.6 = 0.14%, respectively. On that basis, 42.3 ounces is more precise in relative terms. Also, the measurement units are smaller for 42.3 ounces so in absolute terms the measurement is more precise.
