A billion pounds would buy 147,000 state pensions.
It would equal 0.312 pounds.
I assume the billion that refers to 109. Then 1 billion grams = 1 million kilograms, which equals 1000 metric tons, which is about 2.2 million pounds or 1100 tons(US).
By dividing the one billion pounds by the number of pounds in a ton, which is 2240 lb for a [long] ton or 2000 pounds for a short ton.
If we were to measure this in 9 tonne buses it would equate to 400,000 buses.
Since one ton equals 2000 pounds, 9 tons would equal 18,000 pounds. Since one kilogram equals approx 2.2 pounds, 9000 kilograms would equal 19,800 pounds. The answer would be no, they do not equal one another.
There is no specific symbol. In any case, it would depend on whether you mean a billion pounds as a measure of mass or of currency. And if currency, of which country.
That would be 0.625 pounds (avdp).
That would be a simile.
That is 51 pounds.
That would be equal to 2.2 pounds.
That would be equal to about 4.9 pounds.
