Add 12 1/3tons to 20 tons 500 pounds

2 answers

A ton equals 2,000 pounds (in the U.S.), so 1/3 ton is 666.67 pounds.

12 + 20 tons = 32 tons
666.67 pounds + 500 pounds = 1166.67 pounds.

12 1/3 tons + 20 tons 500 pounds = 32 tons, 1166.67 pounds

Or -- you could stick with the fractions.

12 4/12 tons + 20 3/12 tons = ?
