5000 is a number with no units. It CANNOT be compared with a number which HAS units.

Without knowing the UNITS of the 5000 no comparison can be made.

5000 oz are different to 5000 lb which are different to 5000 kg - which are all different to 5 tons.

I guess you meant 5000 lb.

1 (short US) ton = 2000 lb

→ 5 tons = 5 × 2000 lb = 10,000 lb

5,000 < 10,000

→ 5,000 lb < 10,000 lb

→ 5,000 lb < 5 tons

→ 5 tons are greater than 5,000 lb
