An Asian elephant typically weighs 12,000 pounds. In tons, how much does it weigh? A) 2 tons B) 3 tons 4 tons D) 6 tons 8 tons

Sagot :

We need to convert pounds to tons.

Lets type the covertion formula:

one pound is 0.0005 tons

so we use this conversion into the 12,000 pounds:

So let's use proportions:

[tex]\frac{0.0005}{1}=\frac{x}{12000}[/tex]

So solving for x we get:

0.0005 times 12000 = 6 tons

which agrees with one of the answers listed.
