To convert tons to pounds, we can use the conversion factor that 1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds.
Given that we have \( \frac{2}{5} \) tons, we can calculate the equivalent in pounds as follows:
\[
\frac{2}{5} \text{ tons} \times 2000 \text{ pounds/ton} = \frac{2 \times 2000}{5} \text{ pounds}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
= \frac{4000}{5} \text{ pounds} = 800 \text{ pounds}
\]
Therefore, \( \frac{2}{5} \) tons is equal to \( 800 \) pounds.
