Question

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words.

Stephanie and her family are taking a road trip. She notices a sign that says the weight limit on an upcoming bridge is 12 tons. She determines that a vehicle cannot weigh more than pounds to cross the bridge.

Answer 1

Simple conversion here. How many pounds are in 1 ton?

If you're in the United States as we'll assume here, a "ton" generally refers to the "US Short Ton", which is 2,000 pounds.

12 tons * (2,000 pounds per ton) = 24,000 pounds.
