unit | symbol | fact
ounce | oz |
pound | lb | $1\\ \text{lb}=16\\ \text{oz}$
ton | t | $1\\ \text{t}=2000\\ \text{lb}$

fill in the blanks.
$8000\\ \text{lb} = \square\\ \text{t}$
$8\\ \text{lb} = \square\\ \text{oz}$

Explanation:

Step1: Convert pounds to tons

Since $1\ \text{T}=2000\ \text{lb}$, divide 8000 by 2000:
$\frac{8000}{2000}=4$

Step2: Convert pounds to ounces

Since $1\ \text{lb}=16\ \text{oz}$, multiply 8 by 16:
$8\times16=128$

Answer:

$8000\ \text{lb}=4\ \text{T}$
$8\ \text{lb}=128\ \text{oz}$
