Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert pounds to tons

We know that 1 ton = 2000 pounds. So if we have 1 pound, then in tons, it is $\frac{1}{2000}$ tons.

Step2: Convert fluid - ounces to liters

We know that 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces, 1 pint = 2 cups, 1 quart = 2 pints, 1 gallon = 4 quarts and 1 gallon = 3.785 liters. First, 1 fluid ounce is $\frac{1}{8}$ cup. Then, since 1 pint = 2 cups, 1 fluid ounce is $\frac{1}{8\times2}$ pints. Since 1 quart = 2 pints, 1 fluid ounce is $\frac{1}{8\times2\times2}$ quarts. Since 1 gallon = 4 quarts, 1 fluid ounce is $\frac{1}{8\times2\times2\times4}$ gallons. And since 1 gallon = 3.785 liters, 1 fluid ounce is $\frac{3.785}{8\times2\times2\times4}$ liters. $\frac{3.785}{8\times2\times2\times4}=\frac{3.785}{128}\approx0.02957$ liters.

Step3: Calculate the density in tons per liter

The density is 1 pound per fluid - ounce. Converting to tons per liter, we divide the mass in tons by the volume in liters. Density $=\frac{\frac{1}{2000}}{\frac{3.785}{128}}=\frac{128}{2000\times3.785}=\frac{128}{7570}\approx0.02$ tons per liter.
