how many u.s. patents did Thomas Edison have? The number is 93 more than the number of pounds in half a ton. so basically i just need to know how many pounds are in half a ton

2000 lbs in a ton

A ton = 2,000 pounds.

1/2 ton = 1,000 pounds.

To determine the number of pounds in half a ton, we need to know the conversion factor between pounds and tons.

There are 2,000 pounds in one ton. So, we can calculate the number of pounds in half a ton by dividing 2,000 by 2:

2,000 pounds / 2 = 1,000 pounds

Therefore, half a ton is equal to 1,000 pounds.

Now, to find the number of U.S. patents that Thomas Edison had, we need to add 93 to the number of pounds in half a ton:

1,000 pounds + 93 = 1,093

Therefore, Thomas Edison had 1,093 U.S. patents.
