Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 2000: 400 × 2000 ≈ 800,000 lb, against the exact 800,000 lb (0.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A US ton is bigger than a pound, so the number of pounds must come out larger than the number of US tons. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
