How many pounds are in 36000 tons?

Answer 1

36,000 tons = 72,000,000 pounds

Why? Since there are 2,000 pounds in a ton, 36,000 tons has to be multiplied by 2,000 to get the answer. So the equation is as follows:

36,000 x 2,000

To solve this, just do 36 x 2 and then add on the zeroes. 36 x 2 = 72, and 3 zeroes + 3 zeroes = 6 zeroes.

So, 72 with six zeroes behind it equals 72 million.

Answer 2

There are 18 tons in 36,000 pounds. 36,000 divided by 2,000 equals 18.
