We need to convert pounds to tons.

Lets type the covertion formula:

one pound is 0.0005 tons

so we use this conversion into the 12,000 pounds:

So let's use proportions:

[tex]\frac{0.0005}{1}=\frac{x}{12000}[/tex]

So solving for x we get:

0.0005 times 12000 = 6 tons

which agrees with one of the answers listed.
