1. **Problem 2:** A large ship was loaded with 20 tons of grain and 5 tons of flour. We need to find how many more pounds of grain there were on the ship. 2. **Formula and conversion:** 1 ton = 2000 pounds. 3. **Calculate pounds of grain:** $$20 \text{ tons} \times 2000 \frac{\text{pounds}}{\text{ton}} = 40000 \text{ pounds}$$ 4. **Calculate pounds of flour:** $$5 \text{ tons} \times 2000 \frac{\text{pounds}}{\text{ton}} = 10000 \text{ pounds}$$ 5. **Find how many more pounds of grain than flour:** $$40000 - 10000 = 30000 \text{ pounds}$$ --- 6. **Problem 3:** Largest wheel of cheese in City A weighs 985 pounds, City B weighs 894 pounds. Find total ounces. 7. **Formula and conversion:** 1 pound = 16 ounces. 8. **Calculate total pounds:** $$985 + 894 = 1879 \text{ pounds}$$ 9. **Convert total pounds to ounces:** $$1879 \times 16 = 30064 \text{ ounces}$$ --- 10. **Problem 4:** Tito stored 15 gallons, Jack stored 29 gallons, total 44 gallons.
