Answer :

So,

We need to convert oz. to lbs. to tons.

16 oz. = 1 lb.
[tex] \frac{96,000}{16} = 6000\ lbs.[/tex]

2000 lbs. = 1 ton
[tex] \frac{6000}{2000} = 3\ tons[/tex]

[tex]96,000\ ounces = 3\ tons.[/tex]
First you find the amount of ounces there are in tons.

16 (The amount of ounces in pounds) * 2000 (The amount of pounds in tons) = 32,000 (The amount of ounces in a ton.)

Now you know how much ounces there are in a ton. Now simply divide 96,000 by 32,000.

96,000/32,000= 3

The answer is 3. 96,000 ounces equals 3 tons.
