A US ton is 2000 pounds, and 2 tons would be 4000 pounds (less than 4200).

But an "Imperial ton" (long ton) is 2240 pounds -- two long tons would be more than 4200 pounds

And a "metric ton" (tonne) is 1000 kilograms, 2204.6 pounds -- two metric tons is more than 4200 lbs.

For comparing two units in a metric system, we must convert into a single unit.lets convert tonnes to lb.

1 tonn=2000 lbs.

Thus, 2ton = 4000 lb .

We know , that 4000 lb is greater than 1500 lbs.

You did not clarify whether you meant British tons(also known as Imperial ton or long ton), the metric tons (also known as the tonne) or US tons(also known as the short ton).


2 British (long) tons equals 4,480 pounds.
So 2 British long tons is greater.

2 Metric tons (or tonnes) equals 4409.25 pounds.
So 2 metric tons is greater.

2 US (short) tons equals 4,000 pounds.
So 4,200 pounds is greater.

One ton is 2,000 pounds. Therefore, 420 pounds = 420/2,000 = 0.21 ton (about 1/4 ton).

A ton is 2000 pounds so 7 tons is 14000 pounds, which is slightly less than 14002 pounds.
