Question

Jina is ordering 4 bags of cat food from Canada. Each bag has a mass of 2.5 kg. To determine the shipping costs, Jina needs to know the total weight in pounds. What is the weight of the cat food in pounds? USE 1kg=2.2lb AND DON'T ROUND ANY COMPUTATIONS.

Answer 1

Answer

22 lb

Step-by-step explanation

Given that 1 bag weighs 2.5 kg, then 4 bags will weigh:

$4\times2.5\text{ kg}=10\text{ kg}$

Using the conversion factor: 1 kg = 2.2 lb, 10 kg are equivalent to:

$10\text{ kg}=10\text{ kg}\times\frac{2.2\text{ lb}}{1\text{ kg}}=22\text{ lb}$
