How to Convert Metric Tonnes to Pounds

Example: How many pounds are equivalent to 57.06 metric tonnes?


As;

1 metric tonnes = 2204.62 pounds

57.06 metric tonnes = Y pounds

Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;

Y equals 57.06 times 2204.62 over 1

(i.e.) Y = 57.06 * 2204.62 / 1 = 125795.6172 pounds

Answer is: 125795.6172 pounds are equivalent to 57.06 metric tonnes.
