The following conversions may be helpful:
1 pound = 0.4536 kilograms
1 kilogram = 2.2046 pounds
1 ton = 2000 pounds


The question asks to convert from 1 ton to kilograms. Begin with
1 ton = 2000 pounds.

Each pound weights .4536 kilograms, so multiply 2000*.4536 = 907.2 kg.

1 ton = 2000 pounds = 907.2 kg. (approximately)!
