How to Convert Ounces to Short Tons
Example: How many Short tons are equivalent to 38.28 Ounces?
As;
1 Ounces = 3.125E-5 Short tons
38.28 Ounces = Y Short tons
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 38.28 times 3.125E-5 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 38.28 * 3.125E-5 / 1 = 0.00119625 Short tons
Answer is: 0.00119625 Short tons are equivalent to 38.28 Ounces.
