You must develop your ability to find such conversions generally but as with "billion", which is defined differently depending on country, generally 1 ton = 2000 pounds. However, in shipbuilding for example, a ton is 2200 pounds. Go figure.
6 tons = about 12,000 lb because 1 ton is 2,000 lb so 2,000x6=12,000. 6 metric tonnes = 6000 kg x 2.204 = 13224 pounds 6 short tons = 6 x 2000 =12000 pounds 6 long tons = 6 x 2240 = 13440 pounds
There are 9.7 tons in 19,400 pounds. This is because 1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, so to convert pounds to tons, you divide by 2,000.
Designations like quarter-ton, half-ton and three-quarter ton trucks, are just designations to give a consumer the general size of the truck. Some half-ton trucks are really rated to carry more than 1 ton. For instance a late model Toyota Tacoma is a quarter-ton truck, but depending on the configuration it is rated to carry between 1300 and 1600 pounds in its bed. Each individual truck will have a rating given to it by the manufacturer and that is best to go by to figure out how much it will carry. Look for a sticker in the door jam on the driver's door to tell you a vehicle's capacities.

200 pounds go into 6 tons 60 times. This is because there are 2000 pounds in a ton. So, 6 tons * 2000 pounds/ton = 12000 pounds. 12000 pounds / 200 pounds = 60.
