Question

click on the correct symbol.
(1 ton = 2,000 pounds)
6,000 lb □ 4 t

Explanation:

Step1: Convert tons to pounds

We know that \(1\) ton \( = 2000\) pounds. So for \(4\) tons, we calculate \(4\times2000\) pounds.
\(4\times2000 = 8000\) pounds.

Step2: Compare the two weights

We have \(6000\) pounds and \(8000\) pounds. Since \(6000<8000\), we can say that \(6000\) lb \(< 4\) T.

Answer:

\(6000\) lb \(< 4\) T (the correct symbol is \( < \))
