How do you convert $ 3.2 $ tons to pounds?

Hint: Convert the given value in the required specific units by using the conversion relation. Use the formula - $ 1ton = 2000 \;pounds $ . Place the relation and simplify the equation using the basic mathematical calculations.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We know that the basic relation between feet and metres.
 $ 1ton = 2000\;pounds $
Place the value in the given value –
 $ 3.2\;{\text{tons}} = 3.2 \times 2000 $
Simplify the above equation –
 $ 3.2\;{\text{tons}} = 6400 $
Hence, $ 3.2 $ tons are in $ 6400 $ pounds
This is the required solution.
So, the correct answer is “ $ 6400 $ pounds”.

Note: It is very important to know the difference between the system of units and the conversional ratios between them. Since if we say mass of one it does not make any sense, also mass of one gram and one kilogram differs a lot as $ 1kg = 1000g $ .
Always check the units of the given term, all the given terms should be in the same system and then start solving. Also, remember the conversional relations of the different physical quantities and apply accordingly.
