Last answer: "Depends of how you weigh them. A ton of cotton could weigh more than a ton of nails."
Not true! A ton (2000 lbs) is just a ton. 1 thing that weighs exactly 2000 pounds, cant weigh more or less than another thing that weighs exactly 2000 pounds. This is very simple! How did you get this wrong? Or maybe he/she was referring to the fact that there are at least 3 different types of tons. I am not sure. Well anyway, the point is that they were wrong, and the question now has a correct, acceptable answer. :P

Which weighs more a ton of cotton or a ton of bricks?
A ton of cotton and a ton of bricks both weigh the same amount, as they are both equivalent to 2,000 pounds. The difference lies in their volume and density, with cotton being less dense and occupying more space compared to bricks. Therefore, a ton of bricks would take up less space than a ton of cotton due to their differing densities.
