Question

The ostrich can weigh as much as 156.5 kilograms. About how many pounds can the ostrich weigh?

Answer 1

In order to solve this question, we need to convert kilograms to pounds. We can use:

1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds

So, the 156.5 kilograms can be written as:

156.5 kilograms = 156.5 * 2.20462 pounds = 345.02303 pounds

Approximating this result to one-tenth, we find that the ostrich can weigh about 345.0 pounds.
