how much is one metric ton?

It's actually a metric tonne. Ton is the imperial measure. \nA metric tonne is 1,000 kg. or about 90% of a regular ton.\nA metric tonne is slightly larger than a short ton, which weighs only 2,000 pounds against the 2,240 lbs in a regular ton.

A "short ton" which is what we usually use in the US is 2000 pounds. A "long ton" is 2240 pounds (used in the UK).\nIn addition, there is a "metric ton" which is 1000kg or 2204 pounds (about). In much of the world this is called a tonne, but in the US, it is usually called a "metric ton."\n\nThe short/long is because of the different definitions in the US and UK for "hundredweight". In the US a hundredweight is 100 pounds, but in the UK it is 112. Either way, 20 hundredweight makes a ton.

1 inch ~ 2.54 cm\n1 ft ~ 30.48 cm\n\ntechnically, a pound (lb) and grams/kilograms do not measure the same thing. a pound is a measure of weight (a force) while a gram is a measure of mass.  At sea level on earth, where gravity is about 9.81 m/s^2, a mass of 1 kg would approximately have 2.2 lb of weight.  But for basic science classes, this is assumed to be interchangeable

A one-dollar bill as all other American bills weighs approximately one gram.\n\nAn American ton is equal to 2000 lb or  907.18474 kg. It would take 907 184.74 U.S one-dollar bills to make a ton.\n\nA metric tonne is exactly 1000 kg and 1 000 000 U.S. one-dollar bills would be needed to make up this weight.

7.3 barrels = 1 ton = 1000 Kg

One metric ton of sugar produces about 79.5 liters of alcohol.  It's not clear if this is harvested or dry weight, though.

Well, actually you can.  If you know the specific volume of the material for which you wish to convert units, you can use volumetric measurements to determine mass.  Here's how you do it:\n\n# of grams * (specific volume, in L/gram) = # of liters\n\nSince specific volume isn't a very standard measure, you will probably need to convert from a measure of density (often in units of grams/cm^3).  Here's a more complete formula:\n\n# of grams * 1000 / (density in grams/cm^3) = # of liters.

Around these two:\n230584300921.3695 metric ton. (1000 rice grain=25g, moisture=14%)\n276701161105643.4 metric ton. (1000 rice grain=30g, moisture=14%)\n\nThis is assuming that we use ton as a unit of wight, and the ton used is metric ton, you'll see that there is 3 kind of weight ton in use, metric ton (1000kg*), short ton (907.18474kg*) and long ton(1016.0469088 kg*). Look the agric website at source for info how heavy a rice is.\n\n* These conversion rate is EXACT, meaning, it's not a rounded value. \nLook at wikipedia at source for further explanation on ton as weight, or other measurement unit, and about different kind of ton.\n\nHow to get the answer:\n\nLet g be the number of rice grain\nLet rW be the rice wight used\n\n((g / 1000 * rW) / 1000) * 1 ton

No one person invented the Metric System, but it dates to 18th century France.  You're right, we do already have a system, called Standard that has pounds, ounces and so on.  The reason that Metric is prefered (and indeed used by almost all developed nations except the United States) is simple:  How many ounces are in a gallon? How many square feet are in an acre?  How many inches are in a yard?  These questions yeild the following answers; .0078, 2.29 x 10^-5 and 36, not easy numbers to work with.  With Metric, the major marking points are 10, 100, 1000, and so on.  The modern metric system also uses extremely sophisticated ways of getting precise measurements based on natural objects (the size of the earth, the weight of water and so on).

Well, a gallon of diesel is about 7 pounds at sea level.\nIf 1 gallon = 3.8 liters and a pound is 4.5 kilos, you can figure the rest, right?\n\nOoops, that was dumb. A pound is 2.2 kg. Duh. \n\nJust got to thinking about something else and had to revisit this question. Good thing others are on the ball tonight!

They are both 1 ton. Therefore, they're the same.

i live in palestine west-bank\n\nhere is the list of prices (we use metric units), all the prices are almost not exact\n\ngasoline, 1 liter = 1.25 dollar\ndiesel: 1 liter= 1 dollar\nrice: 1 kg= 0.9 dollar\nwheat flour: 1 kg= 0.25 dollar\n\nill put this on my watch list ;-)

a ton is 2000 pounds a 1000kg is 2.14 pounds so it is the feathers

1 metric ton is equal to 1000 kg.\n\nKilograms are a unit of mass,\nA liter is a unit of volume.  You cannot convert between the two directly without the density of the material being studied.\n\nDensity = mass / volume\nIf you knew the density and the mass of the material, you could solve for its volume.
