A moving company charges $0.60 per pound for a move from New York to Florida. A family estimates that their belongings weigh about 6 tons. About how much would it cost the family to move from New York to Florida?
one ton = 2,000 pounds so 6 tons would be 12,000 because we multiply 6x 2,000 So now we need to find the cost 12,000 Ibs. 0.60*2,000=1,200 1,200*6 =$7,200
