What is 6 tons and 116 pounds - 13 tons?

Answer 1

6 ton + 116 pound - 13 ton? The easiest way is to convert them all to the smallest measurement. In this case pounds. There are 2000 pounds in a ton. So 6 tons is 6 * 2000 = 12000 pounds. 13 tons is 13 * 2000 = 26000 pounds. Now you can solve for pounds. 12000 + 116 - 26000 = -13884 pounds. Or if you prefer, you can divide that by 2000 and get -6.942 tons. Or, by the way you worded the question, negative 6 tons and 1884 pounds.

Answer 2

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.
