Question

Michael tells Erica he weighs 104 pounds. Erica says she is 44 kilograms. If there are 2.2 pounds in a
kilogram, who is heavier?

Answer 1

Answer:

Michael is heavier.

Explanation:

If Michael is 104 pounds, that is equal to 47 kg.

Erica is 44 kg which is 97 pounds.

104 is greater than 97, and 47 is greater than 44.

Answer 2

Answer:

Michael weighs more

Explanation:

First, you need to convert either kilograms into pounds or pounds into kilograms. For this problem, I will convert kilograms into pounds.

Multiply 44kg by 2.2 pounds to find how many pounds are in 44 kg

44 x 2.2 = 96.8 pounds

Michael - 104 pounds

Erica - 96.8 pounds

Michael is heavier than Erica because he weighs 7.2 pounds more than her.

(pounds to kilograms - 104/2.2 = 47.3 kg   Michael weighs 7.3 kilograms more than Erica)
