kilograms?


Sagot :

Given:

2.2 pounds = 1 kilogram

Weight of Mary = 120 pounds.

To find:

The weight of Marry in kilograms.

Solution:

We have,

2.2 pounds = 1 kilogram

Using this conversion, we get

1 pound = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2.2}[/tex] kilogram

120 pound = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2.2}\times 120[/tex] kilogram

                  = [tex]\dfrac{120}{2.2}[/tex] kilogram

                  [tex]\approx 54.54[/tex] kilogram

Therefore, the weight of Mary is about 54.54 kilograms.
