Find the number of tons in 5,500 lbs

There are approximately 2000 pounds

To find the answer to this problem we can divide 5,500 by 2000 to find the tons

5,500/2,000 = 2.75

The answer to this problem would be that there are 2.75 or 2 3/4 tons in 5,500 lbs

I hope this helps!

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
