Final answer:
To find the mass of a 4.67 kg book in ounces, convert the mass to grams and then to ounces using the conversion factors. The final calculation gives a precise result of 164.74 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mass of a 4.67 kg book in ounces, convert the mass to grams and then to ounces using the conversion factors.
To calculate the mass of the book in ounces, we need to convert the mass from kilograms to grams and then to ounces. We are given 1 lb is equivalent to 0.4536 kg and 1 oz is equivalent to 28.35 g. Using these conversion factors, we can perform the conversions as follows:
- First, convert the book's mass from kilograms to grams:
- 4.67 kg × 1000 g/kg = 4670 g
- Next, convert grams to ounces:
- 4670 g ÷ (28.35 g/oz) = 164.74 oz
To find the mass of a 4.67 kg book in ounces, convert the mass to grams and then to ounces using the conversion factors. The final calculation gives a precise result of 164.74 ounces.
The closest answer to our calculation is 165.29 ounces (option a), but it appears there is a slight rounding discrepancy. To be precise, based on the conversion given (28.35 g/oz), our calculated answer would indeed be 164.74 ounces.
