No,
3000 pounds = (3000 / 2000) 1.500 short tons
3000 pounds = (3000 / 2240) 1.339 long tons (approx)
3000 pounds = (3000 * 0.00045359237) = 1.361 metric tonnes (approx)

Assuming you mean 3 tons greater than 3000 lb: Regardless of where you are, 1 ton is at least 2000 lb → 3 t is at least 3 × 2000 lb = 6000 lb → Yes, 3t is greater than 3000 lb. However, if you are metric, then 1 tonne = 1000 kg → 3 t = 3 × 1000 kg = 3000 kg → if you are asking is 3t greater than 3000 kg, then NO, they are the same. As 1 kg ≈ 2.2 lb → 3000 kg > 3000 lb → 3 tonnes are greater than 3000 pounds. ---------------------------------------- I wish people would put the units they mean as it makes answering questions easier. Also it means they will NOT lose marks when they fail to put units in their answers.
2000lb = 1 tonne do the math and divide
A foot is a measure of distance. A pound is a measure of weight. They don't translate. It's meaningless to compare them.
Yes, regardless of whether you use the long or short ton. 1 long ton (as used in UK) = 2240 lb → 3 tons = 3 × 2240 lb = 6720 lb 1 short ton (as used in US) = 2000 lb → 3 tons = 3 × 2000 lb = 6000lb
