Is 1 1/4 tons - 1/2 ton greater than, less than, equal to 20,000 ounces

Answer 1

1 1/4 tons is equal to 2,500 pounds and 1/2 ton is equal to 1,000 pounds.

So, 1 1/4 tons - 1/2 ton is equal to 2,500 pounds - 1,000 pounds = 1,500 pounds.

Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, 1,500 pounds is equal to 24,000 ounces.

Therefore, 1 1/4 tons - 1/2 ton is greater than 20,000 ounces.
