Examples
Example 1
Convert $30.0\ \text{lb}$ to $\text{ton (us)}$.
$$\text{Mass}_{\text{ton (us)}} = \frac{30.0}{2000}$$
$$\text{Mass}_{\text{ton (us)}} = 0.015$$
$$\therefore \ 30.0\ \text{lb} = 0.015 \ \text{ton (us)}$$
Example 2
Convert $70.0\ \text{lb}$ to $\text{ton (us)}$.
$$\text{Mass}_{\text{ton (us)}} = \frac{70.0}{2000}$$
