Homework Helper

A white rhinoceros weighs about 2 1 _ 2 tons. How many pounds

does the white rhinoceros weigh?

Convert 2 1 _ 2 tons to pounds.

You know that 2 tons = 4,000 pounds and 1 _ 2 ton = 1,000 pounds.

So, 2 1 _ 2 tons = 4,000 + 1,000 or 5,000 pounds.

A white rhinoceros weighs about 5,000 pounds.
