Solution
For this case we have the following weight:
5 lb and 8 oz
Using the following conversion ratios
1lb = 453.592 gr
1 oz = 28.3495 gr
We need to convert into grams so we can do this:
[tex]5lb\cdot\frac{453.592gr}{1lb}=2267.96gr[/tex][tex]8oz\cdot\frac{28.3495gr}{1oz}=226.796gr[/tex]Then adding the two values we have:
2267.96gr + 226.796gr = 2494.756 gr
