Questions: Convert 9 t to tablespoons

Solution Steps

To convert tons (t) to tablespoons, we need to use a series of conversion factors. First, convert tons to pounds, then pounds to ounces, and finally ounces to tablespoons. Use the following conversion factors: 1 ton = 2000 pounds, 1 pound = 16 ounces, and 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons.

To convert tons to pounds, use the conversion factor \(1 \text{ ton} = 2000 \text{ pounds}\). For 9 tons, the calculation is: \[ 9 \times 2000 = 18000 \text{ pounds} \]

Next, convert pounds to ounces using the conversion factor \(1 \text{ pound} = 16 \text{ ounces}\). For 18000 pounds, the calculation is: \[ 18000 \times 16 = 288000 \text{ ounces} \]

Finally, convert ounces to tablespoons using the conversion factor \(1 \text{ ounce} = 2 \text{ tablespoons}\). For 288000 ounces, the calculation is: \[ 288000 \times 2 = 576000 \text{ tablespoons} \]
