#7169^("lb")#

Using imperial measurement (UK) we have #2240^("lb") = 1" ton"#

Write 3.2 as #3+2/10# so we have

#(3xx2240)+(2/10xx2240)#

#6720+448=7169^("lb")#

To convert tons to pounds, you multiply the number of tons by the conversion factor. Since 1 ton is equal to 2000 pounds, you would multiply 3.2 tons by 2000 pounds/ton.

3.2 tons * 2000 pounds/ton = 6400 pounds.

Therefore, 3.2 tons is equal to 6400 pounds.
