Mr. richards had 6000 pounds of topsoil delivered to his house how many tons is in 6000 pounds

Hello!

2000lbs = 1 ton 

So if we have 6000lbs then we can just multiply it by the pound to ton ration;

6000lbs*(1 ton/2000lbs) = 3 tons

we can see the units work out because pounds divides out and leaves us with the unit tons. 

Hope this helps! Any questions please ask! Thank you kindly!

The answer would be 24mm
