Desi says that there are more ounces in one Ton than there are in pounds. Do you agree? Explain.

Answer 1

No, I do not agree. One ton is equal to 2,000 pounds. However, one pound is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, there are actually more ounces in 2,000 pounds than there are in one ton. In fact, there are 32,000 ounces in one ton (2,000 pounds x 16 ounces).
