I guess you mean either tons (long or short) or tonnes by 't': 1 (short) ton = 2000 lb → 12000 lb = 12000 lb ÷ 2000 lb/t = 6 t 1 (long) ton = 2240 lb → 12000 lb = 12000 lb ÷ 2240 lb/t = 5 5/14 t ≈ 5.357 t 1 kg ≈ 2.205 lb 1 tonne = 1000 kg ≈ 2205lb → 12000 lb ≈ 12000 lb ÷ 2205 lb/t ≈ 5.443 t
Probably simplest (easiest not to get mixed up) to convert both to lb, subtract, then convert back to tons. 1 ton = 2000 lb, so: 6t 300 lb = 6x2000 lb + 300 lb = 12000 lb + 300 lb = 12300 lb 2t 900 lb = 2x2000 lb + 900 lb = 4000 lb + 900 lb = 4900 lb 12300 lb - 4900 lb = 7400 lb convert back to tons: 7400 lb/ 2000 lb per ton = 3 tons 1400 lb
4 tons is 8,000 pounds.
Six tons is 12,000 pounds.
