Mass: Metric and English 1

This quiz shifts to mass, with 10 questions that turn tons into kilograms and then tons into pounds.

A line such as 3.0 tons asks you for the weight in kilograms or pounds, so you practice moving between metric and customary units in the same sitting.

Here is the catch that trips many learners: the ton used here is the metric tonne, which works out to about 2,204.6 pounds rather than the round 2,000 pounds of the US short ton. That small gap matters a lot once you are weighing heavy cargo.

Recommended level: intermediate.
