Why are there more ounces in 1 ton than pounds?

Answer 1

Yes. There are 32,000 ounces in 1 ton, but only 16 of them in 1 pound.

Answer 2

There are more ounces in a ton than pounds because an ounce is a smaller unit of measure than a pound. There are 16 ounces in a pound, but 32,000 ounces in a ton. This is because a ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, so there are more ounces in a ton due to the conversion factor.

Answer 3

Each pound has 16 ounces in it, so there are probably more ounces.

Answer 4

Because every pound has 16 ounces in it.
