How to Convert Long Tons to Kilograms
Example: How many kilograms are equivalent to 50.04 Long tons?
As;
1 Long tons = 1016.0469088 kilograms
50.04 Long tons = Y kilograms
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 50.04 times 1016.0469088 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 50.04 * 1016.0469088 / 1 = 50842.987316352 kilograms
Answer is: 50842.987316352 kilograms are equivalent to 50.04 Long tons.
