To convert tons to pounds, you can use the conversion factor that 1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds.
Given that the monument weighs about 5,700 tons, you can calculate the weight in pounds as follows:
\[
5,700 \text{ tons} \times 2,000 \text{ pounds/ton} = 11,400,000 \text{ pounds}
\]
So, the monument weighs approximately 11,400,000 pounds.
