Question 5. 7 T = ______________ lb Answer: 15432 pounds Explanation: How to convert tons to pounds: 1 ton (t) is equal to 2204.62262185 pounds (lbs). 1 t = 2204.62262185 lb The mass m in pounds (lb) is equal to the mass m in tons (t) divided by 0.00045359237: m(lb) = m(t) / 0.00045359237 m(lb) = 7 / 0.00045359237 m(lb) = 15432 Therefore, 7 tons = 15432 pounds.

Question 6. 1.5 T = ______________ lb Answer: 3307 pounds Explanation: How to convert tons to pounds: 1 ton (t) is equal to 2204.62262185 pounds (lbs). 1 t = 2204.62262185 lb The mass m in pounds (lb) is equal to the mass m in tons (t) divided by 0.00045359237: m(lb) = m(t) / 0.00045359237 m(lb) = 1.5 / 0.00045359237 m(lb) = 3307 Therefore, 1.5 tons = 3307 pounds.

Question 7. 11,000 lb = ______________ T Answer: 4.98 tons Explanation: How to convert pounds to tons: 1 pound (lb) is equal to 0.45359237 tons (t). 1 lb = 0.00045359237 t The mass m in tons (t) is equal to the mass m in pounds (lb) times 0.00045359237: m(t) = m(lb) x  0.00045359237 m(t) = 11000 x 0.00045359237 m(t) = 4.98 Therefore, 11000 lb = 4.98 tons.

Question 9. 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) lb = ______________ oz Answer: 20 oz 1 1/4 = 5/4 = 1.25 Explanation: How to convert pounds to ounces: 1 pound (lb) is equal to 16 Ounces (oz). 1 lb = 16 oz The mass m in ounces (oz) is equal to the mass m in pounds (lb) times 16: m(oz) = m(lb) x 16 m(oz) = 1.25 x 16 m(oz) = 20 Therefore, 1 1/4 pounds = 20 ounces.

Question 10. 7,000 lb = ______________ T Answer: 3 tons Explanation: How to convert pounds to tons: 1 pound (lb) is equal to 0.45359237 tons (t). 1 lb = 0.00045359237 t The mass m in tons (t) is equal to the mass m in pounds (lb) times 0.00045359237: m(t) = m(lb) x  0.00045359237 m(t) = 7000 x 0.00045359237 m(t) = 3 Therefore, 7000 lb = 3 tons.

Question 11. \(\frac{3}{4}\) T = ______________ lb Answer: 1653 pounds 3/4 = 0.75 Explanation: How to convert tons to pounds: 1 ton (t) is equal to 2204.62262185 pounds (lbs). 1 t = 2204.62262185 lb The mass m in pounds (lb) is equal to the mass m in tons (t) divided by 0.00045359237: m(lb) = m(t) / 0.00045359237 m(lb) = 0.75 / 0.00045359237 m(lb) = 1653 Therefore, 0.75 tons = 1653 pounds.

Problem Solving

Question 17. How many 4-ounce bags of peanuts can be filled from a 5-pound bag of peanuts? Answer: 20 Explanation: The above-given: 4 – ounce bags of peanuts: 5 – pound bag of peanuts. 1 pound = 16 ounces The mass m in ounces (oz) is equal to the mass m in pounds (lb) times 16: m(oz) = m(lb) x 16 m(oz) = 5 x 16 m(oz) = 80 5 pounds = 80 ounces. When 80 is divided by 4, the product is 20 Therefore, 20 4-ounce bags of peanuts can be filled from a 5-pound bag of peanuts.

Question 18. Alfonso mails a package that weighs 9 pounds. How many ounces is this package? Answer: 144 oz Explanation: The above-given: The weight of the package in pounds = 9 We need to find out the pounds in ounces: The weight of the package in ounces = m(oz) 1 pound (lb) is equal to 16 Ounces (oz). 1 lb = 16 oz The mass m in ounces (oz) is equal to the mass m in pounds (lb) times 16: m(oz) = m(lb) x 16 m(oz) = 9 x 16 m(oz) = 144 Therefore, the weight of the package in ounces is 144.

HOT Problems

Question 20. Mathematical PRACTICE Use Number Sense A baby weighs 8 pounds 10 ounces. If her weight doubles in 6 months, how much will she weigh in 6 months? Answer: The above-given weight: The weight of the baby is 8 pounds 10 ounces. Now double the weight: 8 pounds 10 ounces + 8 pounds 10 ounces = 16 pounds 20 ounces. The weight in 6 months is 16 pounds 20 ounces.

Question 21. Building on the Essential Question How can I apply to convert customary units of weight in everyday life? Answer: To change from a larger to a smaller unit of length, multiply. To change from a smaller to a larger unit of length, divide. 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ton = 2000 pounds – You can apply it when exercising I believe because in weight lifting it has pounds and ounces.

McGraw Hill My Math Grade 5 Chapter 11 Lesson 5 My Homework Answer Key

Question 1. 64oz = ________________ lb Answer: 4 lb Explanation: How to convert ounces to pounds: 1 ounce (oz) is equal to 0.0625 pounds (lb). 1 oz = (1/16) lb = 0.0625 lb The mass m in pounds (lb) is equal to the mass m in ounces (oz) divided by 16: m(lb) = m(oz) / 16 m(lb) = 64 / 16 m(lb) = 4 Therefore, 64 oz = 4 lb.

Question 2. 5 T = ________________ lb Answer: 11023 lb Explanation: How to convert tons to pounds: 1 ton (t) is equal to 2204.62262185 pounds (lbs). 1 t = 2204.62262185 lb The mass m in pounds (lb) is equal to the mass m in tons (t) divided by 0.00045359237: m(lb) = m(t) / 0.00045359237 m(lb) = 5 / 0.00045359237 m(lb) = 11023 Therefore, 5 tons = 11023 pounds.

Question 3. 13 lb = ________________ oz Answer: 208 oz Explanation: How to convert pounds to ounces: 1 pound (lb) is equal to 16 Ounces (oz). 1 lb = 16 oz The mass m in ounces (oz) is equal to the mass m in pounds (lb) times 16: m(oz) = m(lb) x 16 m(oz) = 13 x 16 m(oz) = 208 Therefore, 13 lb = 208 oz.

Question 4. 9,000 lb = ________________ T Answer: 4 tons Explanation: How to convert pounds to tons: 1 pound (lb) is equal to 0.45359237 tons (t). 1 lb = 0.00045359237 t The mass m in tons (t) is equal to the mass m in pounds (lb) times 0.00045359237: m(t) = m(lb) x  0.00045359237 m(t) = 9000 x 0.00045359237 m(t) = 4 Therefore, 9000 lb = 4 tons.

Question 6. 3.25 T = ________________ lb Answer: 7165 pounds Explanation: How to convert tons to pounds: 1 ton (t) is equal to 2204.62262185 pounds (lbs). 1 t = 2204.62262185 lb The mass m in pounds (lb) is equal to the mass m in tons (t) divided by 0.00045359237: m(lb) = m(t) / 0.00045359237 m(lb) = 3.25 / 0.00045359237 m(lb) = 7165 Therefore, 3.25 tons = 7165 pounds.

Question 9. Mathematical PRACTICE Use Number Sense What fractional part of a pound is an ounce? Answer: 1 ounce = 0.0625 Pounds Let the fraction be f / 1. We are supposed to find what fractional part of a pound is an ounce so, f/1 x 1 = 0.0625 f = 625 / 10000 f = 1/16 Hence, 1/16 of a pound is an ounce.

Question 10. (Ounces, Pounds) would be the most appropriate customary unit to measure the weight of a paper clip. Answer: ounces A measure of mass in the US and Imperial measurement systems. One ounce weighs about the same as a slice of bread. It is exactly 28.349523125 grams 1 ounce = 16 pounds Small weights are measured in ounces.

Question 11. (Weight, Length) is a measure of how heavy an object is. Answer: weight How heavy something is. The downward force caused by gravity on an object. Weight and Mass are different things, but weighing scales are designed to estimate the mass sitting on them and so (instead of units of force) it is common to use units of mass like these: – grams, kilograms and tonnes (in Metric) – ounces, pounds and tons (in US units) This bar of gold has a mass of 1 kg: –  weighing scales under steady conditions here on Earth will also show 1 kg – but on the Moon, they would show 0.165 kg

Question 12. (Tons, Pounds) would be the most appropriate customary unit to measure the weight of a bag of flour. Answer: Pounds Pound in maths is a unit of measurement that indicates how much mass an object has or the amount of matter occupied by the object. A pound is expressed as lb or lbs, where “lb” stands for libra. It is a Latin word that means “balance” or “scale”. So, 10 pounds is written as 10 lbs.
