Whisch is larger a metric ton or a customary ton?

Answer 1

The tonne (or metric ton) is 1,000 kg ≈ 2205 lb

The US ton is the short ton = 2000 lb → 1 tonne is about 10% bigger

(The UK ton was the long ton = 2240 lb (= 20 cwt; 1cwt = 8 stone = 112 lb) → 1 tonne is about 2.5% smaller.)

Answer 2

A short ton (ton) is less than a tonne (metric ton). 1 short ton (U.S.) = 907.18474 kilograms or 2000 pounds. 1 long ton (Great Britain) = 1,016.05 kg or 2240 lb. A metric ton weighs 1000 kilograms or 2204.6 lbs.

Answer 3

The METRIC system is based on increments of the number 10 in both volume and linear measurements. The units of linear measure are: Kilometer - 1,000; hectometer - 100; decimeter - 10; base - 1; decimeter - .1; centimeter - .01; millimeter - .001. METRIC volume is measured in kilograms, miligrams, grams, etc., which are all based on the number 10, also.

The ENGLISH system of linear measurement is based on inches, feet, yards; 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, 5,280 feet in a mile, etc. In ENGLISH weight the measurements are based in ounces, pounds, etc., which are: 16 ounces in a pound; 2000 pounds in a ton, etc. ENGLISH volume is based on cups, pints, quarts, gallons, etc. One cup = 8 ounces; 1 pint = 2 cups or 16 ounces; 1 quart = 4 cups or 32 ounces; 1 gallon = 16 cups or 128 ounces, etc.

Answer 4

a ton = 2000 lbs

a metric ton (tonne) = 2205

Answer 5

A metric ton is larger than a customary ton. A metric ton is equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds, while a customary ton, also known as a short ton, is equal to 2,000 pounds.

Metric tonne is 2205 lbs so it's way larger than a ton. A long ton is 2240 lbs so it's a little larger than a tonne.

Answer 7

There are 1,000 kilograms in one metric tron, so the metric ton appears to be

the greater and more larger mass of the two of them.
