Question

18.75 tons= ? lbs

Answer 1

Here I am again. :P
1 ton= 2000 lbs.

Answer 2

18.75 tons= ? lbs?

Answer 3

18.75*2000=37500 lbs.

Answer 4

To be clear, that's a short ton which I assume is what the question is asking for. As FYI, there are also long tons and metric tons.

Answer 5

Yeah, only if he's in England and other Commonwealth countries. :P

Answer 6

All 3 are common in the U.S.

Answer 7

C'mon, which teacher still uses long tons? Also, metric tons would be most likely spelt as "tonne".

Answer 8

*spelled

Answer 9

It's still an ambiguous term if not clarified. Long tons are commonly used in freight contexts and science/physicist use metric tonnes. You're right about the spelling...a metric tonne is usually spelled <- way but folks that don't know better won't see the difference and just write "ton".
