Assuming that the question asks about 50000 pounds then there are 25 tons. One ton is 2000 pounds and thus 50000/2500 = 25.
one-fifth of a ton is 400 pounds
4 pounds.
One ton is equal to 2000 pounds. If you divide 2000 by 5 you will get 400. So one fifth of a ton is 400 pounds.
Notice that -- one fifth of 20 pounds of topsoil is 4 pounds of topsoil, -- one fifth of 20 cows is 4 cows, -- one fifth of 20 miles of rope is 4 miles of rope, -- one fifth of 20 acres of land is 4 acres of land, -- one fifth of 20 bushels of tomatoes is 4 bushels of tomatoes, and -- one fifth of 20 dozen cookies is 4 dozen cookies. Once you notice this, and begin to pick up the pattern, you might be tempted to guess that one fifth of 20 percent is 4 percent. And you'd be correct.
