1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, so divide 4.5 million by 2000.

4,500,000 / 2000 = 2250

So the space shuttle weighs 2250 tons.

We know that 1 ton is equal to 2000 pounds, so all we need to do is divide 4.5 million by 2000. 4500000 divided by 2000 equals 2250, so the space shuttle will weigh 2250 tons. :)
