Answer:

46 lbs is equal to 20,909 grams

Explanation:

What is the first term?: "46lb/1 x." and the last: "1,000/1kg?"

I'll assume the formula was meant to read:

46 lb. x (1kg/2.2lb.) x (1,000g/1kg) =? [changes noted in BOLD]

If the above version is correct, this represents the steps that would be taken if one wanted to convert 46 pounds (lb) into grams (g).

Start Convert Convert

(in lbs) lbs to kg kg to grams

46 lb. x (1kg/2.2lb.) x (1,000g/1kg) = 20,909 grams

the two conversion steps are changing the units from 1) lbs to kgs, and 2) from kg to grams, using known conversion factors.
