Question

1. convert 20 tons per year to ounces per day (16 ounces = 1 pound, 1 ton = 2000 pounds)

.0004 ounces/day
1,753.42 ounces/day
109.6 ounces/day
6.8 ounces/day

Explanation:

Step1: Convert tons to pounds

We know that 1 ton = 2000 pounds, so for 20 tons, we calculate $20\times2000 = 40000$ pounds.

Step2: Convert pounds to ounces

Since 1 pound = 16 ounces, for 40000 pounds, we have $40000\times16 = 640000$ ounces per year.

Step3: Convert year to day

There are 365 days in a year (assuming a non - leap year for simplicity). To find ounces per day, we divide the total ounces per year by 365. So $\frac{640000}{365}\approx1753.42$ ounces per day.

Answer:

1,753.42 ounces/day
