23,780 lb = ? t. A.47,560,000 . B.23 39/50. C.11 89/100. D.12
This is a very common question that can be found in schools all over the world. 23,780 lb=? is going to be 11 89/100.
Answer:
C. \(11\frac{89}{100}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that,
1 lb = 0.0005 t, ------(1)
Where, lb represents pounds and t represents tons,
Multiplying both sides of equation (1) by 23780,
We get,
23,780 lb = 23,780 × 0.0005 = 11.89 pounds,
\(11.89 = 11 + 0.89 = 11 +\frac{89}{100}=11\frac{89}{100}\)
Hence,
\(1\text{ lb}=11\frac{89}{100}\text{ t}\)
Option C is correct.
