unit symbol fact
ounce oz
pound lb 1 lb = 16 oz
ton t 1 t = 2000 lb
fill in the blanks.
9 lb = \square oz
10,000 lb = \square t

Explanation:

Step1: Convert pounds to ounces

We know that \(1\ \text{lb} = 16\ \text{oz}\), so to convert \(9\ \text{lb}\) to ounces, we multiply the number of pounds by 16.
\(9\times16 = 144\)

Step2: Convert pounds to tons

We know that \(1\ \text{T} = 2000\ \text{lb}\), so to convert \(10000\ \text{lb}\) to tons, we divide the number of pounds by 2000.
\(10000\div2000 = 5\)

Answer:

For \(9\ \text{lb}=\square\ \text{oz}\), the answer is \(144\).
For \(10,000\ \text{lb}=\square\ \text{T}\), the answer is \(5\).
