The number 2000 in pounds can be written in exponents as 2 × 10³ pounds
In the Foot Pound Second (F.P.S.) system, a pound is the fundamental unit of weight and weighs exactly 16 ounces. A man who weighs 186 pounds is an example of a pound.
In both the American customary and imperial systems of measurement, a tonne is a unit of weight or mass. A tonne (T) in the American customary system is equivalent to 2,000 pounds (lb).
There are 2000 pounds in a ton.
So, 2000 can be written as an exponent as:
2000 = 2 × 1000
2000 = 2 × 100 × 10
2000 = 2 × 10 × 10 × 10
2000 = 2 × 10¹ × 10¹ × 10¹
2000 = 2 × 10¹ ⁺ ¹ ⁺ ¹
2000 = 2 × 10³
Therefore, the 2000 pounds can be written as 2 × 10³ pounds.
