$2$ tons is twice as heavy as $1$ ton. If $1$ tons is the same as $2000$ pounds, how many pounds would be twice as heavy?

$\frac{10,000\text{ pounds}}{2000\text{ pounds in each ton}}$

$12{,}000$ pounds

Half of one ton is half of $2{,}000$ pounds.

$3\frac{1}{2}\text{ tons}$

$\frac{2200 \text{ pounds}}{2000\text{ pounds}}$
