Assuming the question is
1 1/2 tons= __ pounds this is how you solve the problem:
1 ton= 2000 pounds. Right? Right.
So obviously half a ton= 1000 pounds. Make sense? Good. If not, think of it like this. 2000 split in half is 1000 twice. Just like saying 2 is two 1's.
So back to the problem. Now that you have the information 1 ton= 2000 pounds and 1/2 ton= 1000 pounds. What would you do? Well add of course!
1 1/2 tons= __ pounds. Lets look now at the 1 in 1 1/2 tons. That 1 would equal 2000 right? Right. And not lets look at the 1/2 in 1 1/2 tons. That would equal 1000 of course. As I've mentioned before. So now add 2000+1000 which i sure hope you know the answer to! 2000+1000=3000.
So the problem 1 1/2 tons= __ pounds is basically asking 3000 tons= __ pounds. And since 2000 pounds= 1 ton. The answer would have to be 1. Because you are dividing 2000 into 3000. With 1000 left over.
So the overall answer is 1 1/2 tons= 1 pound 1000 ounces left over.
Hope this helped :)
