To convert pounds to tons, you divide the weight in pounds by 2000, since there are 2000 pounds in a ton. So, 12000 pounds is equal to 6 tons (12000 pounds / 2000 pounds per ton = 6 tons).
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
To convert tons to pounds, you can use the conversion factor: 1 ton = 2,000 pounds. Simply multiply the number of tons by 2,000 to get the equivalent weight in pounds. For example, if you have 3 tons, 3 tons * 2,000 pounds/ton = 6,000 pounds.
The result is -7 tons and 116 pounds. We first convert 6 tons and 116 pounds to pounds (6 tons * 2000 pounds/ton + 116 pounds = 12,116 pounds), then subtract 13 tons (13 tons * 2000 pounds/ton = 26,000 pounds) to get the final result.
