Is 9996 equal to 5 tons?

Answer 1

Well, isn't that a happy little question! 9996 is not equal to 5 tons. You see, 5 tons is a measurement of weight, while 9996 is a number. It's important to remember that numbers and measurements are different, just like how every tree in our painting is unique and special in its own way.

Answer 2

No.

9996 is just a number whereas 5 tons is a number with units.

If a unit had been supplied for the 9996 it is unlikely to be equivalent to 5 tons as:

1 [long] ton = 2240 lb → 5 ton = 5 × 2240 lb = 11200 lb

1 [short] ton = 2000 lb → 5 ton = 5 × 2000 lb = 10000 lb

Converting to kg:

1 [long] ton ≈ 5080 kg

1 [short] ton ≈4536 kg
