How many dollars are there in a ton

They have the dollar weighing 0. Mine must have been slightly dirty at 0. Or perhaps a ton of feather versus a ton of lead. You may also compare a one dollar coin with a 10 dollar note in the same way.

Short ton, long ton or metric tonne? I get very confused between them. What is that in Kg? I always thought of a ton of money as a figure of speech. So it would be more than I can spend. What would I do with that? I can't think of anything else, but that would take a bite out of that 'ton' Or perhaps it could be said this way.

Assumedly a coin may be regarded as being more of value than a note because a coin is metal and a note is paper. When the metric system came into play, the weight of a ton - sometimes now called a short ton - wasn't very tidy, at kg. Thus came about the 'tonne', borrowing a French spelling to distinguish between the old short ton still the dominant unit in the US but rounded up to a neat, easily divisible kg This heavier tonne is now more commonly used in Europe and the UK, which is handy, because it's Friday night, Tania's just arrived AND she's just been dumped by Reece and we all know how much she likes a drink.

I'm not saying she has a problem, but Oh yeah. It's just that the two systems define a hundredweight differently. Simply put, there are pounds to a hundredweight in the American system, while in the British system, there are pounds to a hundredweight.

Let's stick to the short ton for these calculations. Looking at three expensive commodities, which do you think will be worth more: a ton of gold, of saffron, or iPhones?

So, this summer, while watching more television than was good for me, I noticed the Esurance commercial about saving a ton of dollars see video: Esurance Commerical. A mathematical question occurred to me This is the question we investigated in math today. We began by watching the video and I posed the day's question. Then I asked the all important question: How much does a dollar weigh?. To answer this We discovered that all forms of paper currency weigh 1 gram.

I also took a minute to discuss the number
