Question

plz help me ;-; i'll give brainliest. is my answer correct?

Answer 1

To answer this question, we can set it up like this (for easier solving, I'm going to turn 10 1/3 into 10.3):

$\frac{1}{2.2} = \frac{10.3}{x}$

This means that there is 1 kilogram in 2.2 pounds and 10.3 kilograms in x pounds.

To solve the equation, we can use cross-multiplication:

$1*x = 2.2 * 10.3$

$x = 22.66$

The exact answer would be 22.66 lbs, but the correct approximation is 20 lbs.  Your answer of 220 lbs is incorrect.
