Good evening my friends' Regarding feathers & gold, Why?
Gold is weighed in Troy . 1 ton of gold = 2722.2 lbs Troy
Feathers are in Avd. 1 ton of feathers = 2240 lbs AVD (long ton)
= 2000 " " (short ton)
one pound troy = .882 Avd
one pound of AVD = 1.213 Troy
However if you specify weighing in the same type of weight, they would be the same.
so you see it is a trick question, and also that I mistyped in my post.
sigh- nope, I won't apologize.
