Question

here are some facts about units of weight.
unit | symbol | fact
ounce | oz |
pound | lb | 1 lb = 16 oz
ton | t | 1 t = 2000 lb
fill in the blanks.
32 oz = \square lb
9 t = \square lb

Explanation:

Step1: Convert ounces to pounds

We know that \(1\) lb \( = 16\) oz. To find how many pounds are in \(32\) oz, we divide \(32\) by \(16\). So, \(32\div16 = 2\). Thus, \(32\) oz \( = 2\) lb.

Step2: Convert tons to pounds

We know that \(1\) T \( = 2000\) lb. To find how many pounds are in \(9\) T, we multiply \(9\) by \(2000\). So, \(9\times2000 = 18000\). Thus, \(9\) T \( = 18000\) lb.

Answer:

For \(32\) oz \(=\square\) lb, the answer is \(2\).
For \(9\) T \(=\square\) lb, the answer is \(18000\).
