Question

Sam is delivering 2 refrigerators that each weigh 105 kilograms. There is an elevator with a weight of 1000 pounds. Can he take both refridgerators in one trip? 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

Answer 1

Answer: Yes, he can take both refrigerators in one trip .

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to convert the kilograms into pounds.

Since 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

105 kilograms x 2.2 pounds/kilogram= 231 pounds (1 refrigerator's weight)

Since there are 2 refrigerators, we have to multiply the weight of 1 refrigerator by 2 to obtain the total weight in pounds:

231 pounds x 2 =462 pounds

Since the elevator can lift up to 1000 pounds.

1000p>462p

He can take both refrigerators in one trip
