A long ton is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 2,240 pounds.
A long ton, also known as a "metric ton" or "imperial ton," is a unit of mass equal to 2,240 pounds. This is the standard unit of measurement used in the United States Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. The other options are incorrect because a short ton is 2,000 pounds (B), and a metric ton is 2,400 pounds (D), which are different units of measurement.
