Choose the more precise measurement. 56 lb 37 T

MrMudd183:

What is the measurement for? Anything specific or just in general

jowhite:

For Math

MrMudd183:

Both of these are weighted measurements... lb are commonly known as pounds, while T is referred to as tons

jowhite:

Yea ik that but what's the more precise measurement

jowhite:

Cause Im confused

MrMudd183:

I believe it's what it's for....let's convert both to tons first, then to pounds

jowhite:

ok

MrMudd183:

One ton is around 2.2k pounts... So 56 pounds is around 0.0254012 tons Now let's convert both unites to pounds

jowhite:

Ok

jowhite:

I would 56 ib is more precise because there are 2000lbs in a ton so a measurement in pounds is more precise.

jowhite:

Am I correct

MrMudd183:

37 T is around 81 thousand pounds. 81 thousand pounds is much more heavier than 56 pounds While 37 tons is way heavier than 0.0254012 tons And yes you are, good job

jowhite:

Ok thx
