To convert pounds to tons, you can use the fact that 1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds.
Now, we can set up the conversion:
\[ \text{Tons} = \frac{\text{Pounds}}{2,000} \]
Plugging in the value:
\[ \text{Tons} = \frac{1,500}{2,000} \]
Now, simplify the fraction:
\[ \frac{1,500 \div 500}{2,000 \div 500} = \frac{3}{4} \]
Therefore,
\[ 1,500 \text{ pounds} = \frac{3}{4} \text{ tons} \]
So, the answer is \(\frac{3}{4}\) tons.
