How Many Pounds In A Ton?

14 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Pound is a unit of measurement. It is also mainly used in the United States and United Kingdom. It is abbreviated as lb and is used to measure mass. Its size varies from system to system. The most commonly used pound in the present day is avoirdupois pound. A pound is equal to 16 ounces or exactly 453.59237 grams.

    A ton is also a unit of measurement for weight and mass but is used only to denote objects that are very huge and heavy. It is much larger than even kilogram. It gets its name from Old English. There are three types of tons i.e. short ton, long ton and metric ton. Pound and ton are usually not used to measure the same objects. A ton is equal to 2000 pounds as per short ton, 2,240 pounds as per the long ton and 2,204.6 pounds according to a metric ton.
