10000 lb = 5 t(US)
10000 lb * 1 ton/2000 lb = 5 tons.
1 ton is equal to 2000 pounds, so 10000 pounds is equal to 5 tons.
10000 lbs 1 US (short) ton = 2000 lb 1 UK (long) ton = 2240 lb 1 tonne (metric) = 2204.6 lb
10000 lbs 1 US (short) ton = 2000 lb 1 UK (long) ton = 2240 lb 1 tonne (metric) = 2204.6 lb
There are 2,00 pounds in a ton.
Since there are 2,000 pounds in one ton (one short ton), the corollary is that there is 1/2000 of a ton in a pound (or .0005 tons in a pound).

ton = 2000lb so 2000lb + 700lb = 2700lb.
A US ton is 2,000 pounds. Therefore, 1/2,000 of a ton = a pound. But 2,000 pounds = a ton. A UK ton = 2240 lb
You can if you define the kind of ton, because there are many different units that involve the word "ton" (short, long, and metric). A short ton is 2000 pounds, so there is 1/2000 short ton in a pound, or 0.0005 short ton per pound.
