Q. Convert:

\newline

5,228

lb =

\_\_\_\_\_

T

\_\_\_\_\_

lb

Convert pounds to tons: First, we need to know how many pounds are in a ton. $1$ ton $= 2,000$ pounds.
Calculate total tons: Now, let's divide $5,228$ pounds by $2,000$ pounds per ton to find out how many tons that is. $\newline$ $5,228 \, \text{lb} \div 2,000 \, \text{lb/ton} = 2.614 \, \text{tons}.$
Round down to whole tons: But we can't have a fraction of a ton in pounds, so we take the whole number part for the tons. That's $2$ tons.
Find remaining pounds: To find the remaining pounds, we multiply the whole tons by $2,000$ and subtract from $5,228$ . $\newline$ $2$ tons $\times 2,000$ lb/ton $= 4,000$ lb.
Subtract whole tons: Subtract the pounds that make up the whole tons from the total pounds. $5,228\,\text{lb} - 4,000\,\text{lb} = 1,228\,\text{lb}.$
