A ton is equivalent to 2,000 pounds. To find three-fifths of a ton, you would multiply 2,000 by 3/5. This calculation results in 1,200 pounds, which is three-fifths of a ton.

1200 pounds.

Explanation: A ton is about 2000 lbs. 1/5 of this is found by dividing by 5. 2000 / 5 = 400. Now multiply this by 3 to get 3/5. 400 x 3 = 1200!!
