It depends on where you live.

In the US, a "ton" is equal to 2000 lbs (pounds).

In the UK, a "ton" isequal to2240 lbs.

A tonne, or metric ton is equal to 1000 kg.


Because you used pounds, I'll give you the conversion for a US ton.


Conversion Factor:

1 ton = 2000 lbs


Conversion factors can be written as fractions, where one side of the equation is in the numerator and one side of the equation is in the denominator.

Example: (1 ton/2000 lbs) or (2000 lbs / 1 ton)


Multiply what you are trying to convert by the conversion factor, in such a way where units cancel. Remember, units can cancel in a fraction just like any other term can.


825 tons x (2000 lbs / 1 ton) = (825 x 2000) lbs = 1,650,000 pounds
(one million six hundred and fifty thousand pounds)


The answer is 1,650,000 lbs.
