~~Uh, according to Google 1 US ton is 2000 lbs.~~

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Yes?

2000 lbs =906kg

1/4th of 906 = 226.5.

Or if you want to skip that, just 1/4th of 2000 = 500, which I say is the weight in lbs.

Ah, missed the "quarter of" bit. Thought you were saying 1 ton = 500 lbs. It's all good
