Question

7 tons 200 pounds 100 ounces
1,000 pounds 200 ounces
16,500 pounds
25,000 ounces

Answer 1

To order the weights from least to greatest, we'll first convert all weights to a consistent unit. In this case, we will convert everything to pounds.

1. 7 tons 200 pounds

   • 1 ton = 2,000 pounds
   • 7 tons = 7 × 2,000 = 14,000 pounds
   • Total: 14,000 + 200 = 14,200 pounds

2. 1,000 pounds 200 ounces

   • 200 ounces = 200 ÷ 16 (since there are 16 ounces in a pound) = 12.5 pounds
   • Total: 1,000 + 12.5 = 1,012.5 pounds

3. 16,500 pounds

   • Total: 16,500 pounds

4. 25,000 ounces

   • 25,000 ounces = 25,000 ÷ 16 = 1,562.5 pounds
   • Total: 1,562.5 pounds

Now, we can list the weights we've calculated:

• 1,012.5 pounds (1,000 pounds 200 ounces)
• 1,562.5 pounds (25,000 ounces)
• 14,200 pounds (7 tons 200 pounds)
• 16,500 pounds

Now ordered from least to greatest:

1. 1,012.5 pounds (1,000 pounds 200 ounces)
2. 1,562.5 pounds (25,000 ounces)
3. 14,200 pounds (7 tons 200 pounds)
4. 16,500 pounds

So the final order from top to bottom (least to greatest) is:

1. 1,000 pounds 200 ounces (1,012.5 pounds)
2. 25,000 ounces (1,562.5 pounds)
3. 7 tons 200 pounds (14,200 pounds)
4. 16,500 pounds
