An engineer is building a bridge that should be able to hold a maximum weight of 1 ton. He builds a model of the bridge that is exactly 4 times smaller than the actual bridge. 16 ounces = 1 pound. 2,000 pounds = 1 ton.

If a test of the model shows that it holds 8,000 ounces, will the bridge hold 1 ton?

8,000 ounces on the model is equal to ounces on the actual bridge.
Convert ounces to pounds. The actual bridge can hold pounds.
Therefore, the bridge hold 1 ton
