2200 pounds is called a "ton" in the Imperial system and a "short ton" in the US customary system.
one short ton = 2000 pounds - one long ton = 2200 pounds
There are 2000 pounds in one US ton. Therefore, 2200 pounds is equal to 2200/2000 = 1.1 tons. However, when speaking in metric tons (known as tonnes), 2200 pounds is very close to 1 tonne (2204.62 lbs in a tonne).
There are 9680 pounds in 4.4 US tons. (2200 pounds per ton)
One kilogram equals 2.2 pounds. As such, 1000 kilograms (a tonne) equals 2,200 pounds which incidentally is only slightly more than a ton (imperial) which is 2000 pounds.
1 kg = 2.2 pounds 1 metric ton = 1,000 kg = (1,000 x 2.2) = 2,200 pounds
