Answer

184,000 oz

Work Step by Step

5 $\frac{3}{4}$ tons = oz Use the unit fraction $\frac{2000 pounds}{1 ton}$ to change ton to pounds and the unit fraction $\frac{16 ounce}{1 pound}$ to change pound to ounces. Notice how all the units divide out except ounce, which is the unit you want in the answer. $\frac{23}{4}$ tons * $\frac{2000 pounds}{1 ton}$ * $\frac{16 ounce}{1 pound}$ = 184,000 oz
