Answer

$4$$tons$ $200$$pounds$

Work Step by Step

There are 2,000 pounds in a ton. So, to convert the pounds given to tons, do this: 8200 $\div$ 2000 $=$ 4.1 So it converts to 4.1 tons. But we want the answer in tons AND pounds. So we cannot leave the 0.1 ton there. To find how many pounds 0.1 ton is do this: 0.1 $\times$ 2,000 = 200 So the 0.1 ton equals 200 pounds. So the final answer is 4 tons and 200 pounds.
