Answer
$\frac{3}{4}$ ton or 0.75 tons
Work Step by Step
24,000 oz. = ton
Use the unit fraction $\frac{1 pound}{16 ounces}$ to change ounces to pounds and the unit fraction$\frac{1 ton}{2000 pounds}$ to change pound to tons. Notice how all the units divide out except ton, which is the unit you want in the answer.
24,000 ounces * $\frac{1 pound}{16 ounces}$* $\frac{1 ton}{2000 pounds}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ = 0.75 tons
