First of all, you need to know that 1 ton (tn) = 1000 pounds (lb).

Then you simply multiply:

3400lb/1 x 1tn/1000lb = 3400tn/1000

And divide:

3400tn / 1000 = 3.4 tons

====================================

You have just witnessed a brilliant demonstration of how easily

a single item of faulty data can doom an entire calculation.

1 US ton = 2,000 pounds.

(3,400 pounds) / (2,000 pounds / ton) = 1.7 tons
