Question

Solve using a conversion factor. Round to the nearest tenth.

David is traveling to the United States for his next weightlifting competition. If he weighs 120.3 kilograms, how much does he weigh in pounds?

1 kg= 2.2 lb

Answer 1

Since 1 kg is = to 2.2 lb just multiply 120.3 kg by 2.2 lb

He weighs approximately 264.66 pounds.

It is approximation because 1 kg does not = 2.2 lb EXACTLY, but for the purpose of this problem I hope this will be good enough :)
