US customary units: weight


     How much does an elephant weigh? 

 In the US customary measurement system we use units like onces (oz), pounds (lb), and tons (T) to measure weight. So, in your opinion which unit would be more appropriate to weigh an elephant?

     As we've seen in our classroom we can convert these units (ounces to pounds, pounds to tons...) using some standards:


     So remember these and you'll be fine:

1 ton = 2,000 pounds
1 pound = 16 ounces

 Homework

 Send your answers until Tuesday - May 28th.

 Way to go guys!
