Add 75 kg to 2500 g, then convert the answer to pounds. Use 1 kg = 2.2 lbs. Be sure to convert all measurements to kilograms before adding. Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a pound. The weight in pounds is __<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To solve this problem, we need to first convert all the weights into the same unit (kilograms), then perform the addition, and finally convert the result to pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Convert grams to kilograms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram, we need to convert 2500 grams to kilograms:2500\u2009g\u00d71\u2009kg1000\u2009g=2.5\u2009kg2500 \\, \\text{g} \\times \\frac{1 \\, \\text{kg}}{1000 \\, \\text{g}} = 2.5 \\, \\text{kg}2500g\u00d71000g1kg\u200b=2.5kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Add the two weights in kilograms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that both weights are in kilograms, we can add them:75\u2009kg+2.5\u2009kg=77.5\u2009kg75 \\, \\text{kg} + 2.5 \\, \\text{kg} = 77.5 \\, \\text{kg}75kg+2.5kg=77.5kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Convert the total weight to pounds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To convert kilograms to pounds, we use the conversion factor 1\u2009kg=2.2\u2009lbs1 \\, \\text{kg} = 2.2 \\, \\text{lbs}1kg=2.2lbs. So, we multiply the total weight in kilograms by 2.2:77.5\u2009kg\u00d72.2\u2009lbskg=170.5\u2009lbs77.5 \\, \\text{kg} \\times 2.2 \\, \\frac{\\text{lbs}}{\\text{kg}} = 170.5 \\, \\text{lbs}77.5kg\u00d72.2kglbs\u200b=170.5lbs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The total weight in pounds is 170.5 lbs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • First, we converted 2500 grams to kilograms by dividing by 1000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Then, we added the 75 kg to 2.5 kg, resulting in 77.5 kg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Finally, we converted 77.5 kg to pounds by multiplying by 2.2, yielding 170.5 pounds. This was rounded to the nearest tenth as required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
