How to Convert Grams to Short Tons
Example: How many Short tons are equivalent to 15.95 grams?
As;
1 grams = 1.102E-6 Short tons
15.95 grams = Y Short tons
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 15.95 times 1.102E-6 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 15.95 * 1.102E-6 / 1 = 1.75769E-5 Short tons
Answer is: 1.75769E-5 Short tons are equivalent to 15.95 grams.
