How to Convert Metric Tonnes to Ounces
Example: How many Ounces are equivalent to 12.7 metric tonnes?
As;
1 metric tonnes = 35273.37 Ounces
12.7 metric tonnes = Y Ounces
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 12.7 times 35273.37 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 12.7 * 35273.37 / 1 = 447971.799 Ounces
Answer is: 447971.799 Ounces are equivalent to 12.7 metric tonnes.
