9,000ib = how many ton

Let’s find how much a pound is compared to a ton.

One ton = 2,000 pounds

So the ratio, 1:2,000

Let’s put our problem in the ratio, with T being the amount of tons we need to find.

T:9,000

1:2,000

We need to see the change between the two. So divide 9,000 by 2,000.

9,000/2,000

4.5

1•4.5

9,000 pounds = 4.5 tons

1 Ton = 2000 lbs

2000*4 = 8000

1000lb = 1/2 Ton

4 Ton = 8000

9000 = 4.5 Ton
