1 ton is equivalent to 2000 pounds
we have to find how many pounds 3 3/8 tons are equal to
if 1 ton --> 2000 pounds
we can break down the fraction into 3 + 3/8
then 3 tons --> 2000 x 3 = 6000 pounds
3/8 ton ---> 2000 x 3/8 = [tex] \frac{3*2000}{8} = \frac{6000}{8} = 750 pounds [/tex]
after adding 6000 + 750 = 6750 pounds
answer is 6750 pounds
