$56"oz" = 7/4000"t"=0.00175"t"$

Explanation:

$16"oz" = 1"lb"$
$2000"lb"=1"t"$ (assuming we are using the short ton)

With this, we can multiply $56"oz"$ by $1$ multiple times, canceling the appropriate units, and obtain

$56color(red)(cancel("oz")) xx (1color(blue)(cancel("lb")))/(16color(red)(cancel("oz"))) xx (1"t")/(2000color(blue)(cancel("lb"))) = 56/(16xx2000)"t" = 7/4000"t"=0.00175"t"$
