How to Convert Long Tons to Grams
Example: How many grams are equivalent to 42.59 Long tons?
As;
1 Long tons = 1016000 grams
42.59 Long tons = Y grams
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 42.59 times 1016000 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 42.59 * 1016000 / 1 = 43271440 grams
Answer is: 43271440 grams are equivalent to 42.59 Long tons.
