Best Answer

8000 is heavier (bigger) than 3 tons, regardless of what you mean by "tons".

There are in the US three different kinds of "ton". There's the "short ton," which is 20 short (or net) hundredweight (2000 pounds), the "long ton", which is 20 long (or gross) hundredweight (2240 pounds), and the "metric ton", which is 1000 kg (slightly less than a long ton).

Using the heaviest of these (the long ton), 3 tons would be 6720 pounds, clearly less than 8000 pounds.

4 tons 400lbs.

+ 8 tons 1600lbs.

12 tons 2000lbs.= 13 tons

But, there are 2000 lbs in a ton so... it would be 13 tons, because one ton plus 12 tons equals 13 tons

They are the same in short tons

8000 pounds = 4 short tons

However

8000 pounds is more than 4 metric tons

8000 pounds = 3.628739 metric tons
