🔍 Key Concepts

• Weight units in maritime practice (short ton, long ton, metric ton) • Difference between U.S. customary (short ton) and British/Imperial (long ton) • Relationship between pounds and the different definitions of a ton

💭 Think About

• Which of these answer choices is the usual U.S. "short ton" used in everyday commerce? Which choice is not that value? • In older British/Imperial usage, was the long ton heavier or lighter than the short ton? That should point you toward a larger or smaller pound value. • Compare the sizes: 1,000 vs 2,000 vs 2,240 vs 2,400 pounds. Which one is commonly associated with shipping/displacement tonnage in traditional British practice?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on short ton = ? pounds before deciding what a long ton is. • Remember that a long ton is heavier than a short ton, not lighter. • Eliminate any answers that are obviously too small or that match the short ton value, since that cannot be the long ton.
