Answer :

To determine which is greater, 7000 pounds or 3 tons, let's first convert tons into pounds.

  1. We know that:

    [tex]\text{1 ton} = \text{2000 pounds}[/tex]

  2. Therefore, [tex]\text{3 tons}[/tex] can be converted to pounds by multiplying:

    $3 \times 2000 = 6000$ pounds.

  3. Now, compare the two quantities:

    • 7000 pounds
    • 6000 pounds (which is 3 tons)

  4. From this comparison, it is clear that:

    $7000 \text{ pounds} > 6000 \text{ pounds}$

So, 7000 pounds is greater than 3 tons.
