i poured 50 65lbs bags of concrete how many tons is that? how many lbs. in a ton?

Answer 1

For good strength with enough slump to work with, the water-to-concrete ratio is about 0.4:1 so you probably had about 1,300 lb of water mixed with your 3,250 lb of concrete for a total of 4,550 lb or, 2.3 tons. The water to concrete ratio could be anywhere from 0.3 to 0.5 depeding on how sloppy or firm your mix was.

Answer 2

There are 2000 lb.s to the ton, however you must also consider the weight of the water you added which combines chemically with the concrete.

Answer 3

There are 2000 pounds in a ton.

You poured 50 bags * 65 pounds = 3250 pounds, so 1.625 tons.

Answer 4

50 - 65lbs bags = 3250 lbs

Since there are 2000 lbs in a short ton (US ton)

you'd have 3250/2000 = 1.625 US tons

If you are using a regular ton there are 2240 lbs in a ton

3250/2240 = 1.451 tons

Answer 5

2000 lbs in a ton.

Answer 6

The above formulas are mathematically correct but your forgetting about the weight of the sand and water you add to the cement mix.

That will add weight also!
