Final answer:

To convert the weight of the school bus from tons and pounds to ounces, you need to multiply the total pounds by 16.

To convert tons and pounds to ounces, we need to know that:




  1. 1 ton = 2000 pounds

  2. 1 pound = 16 ounces



Given that the school bus weighs 12 tons 250 pounds, we can calculate its weight in ounces as follows:



Total pounds = 12 tons * 2000 pounds/ton + 250 pounds = 24,250 pounds



Total ounces = 24,250 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 388,000 ounces
