Question

A kitten weighs 4 pounds. What is the mass of the kitten in kilograms?
(Nearest thousandths)

Answer 1

4 pounds = 1.814 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of kitten = 4 pounds

We need to find the mass of the kitten in kg.

The relation between pounds and kg is given by :

1 kg = 2.204 pounds

⇒ 1 pound = (1/2.204) kg

⇒ 4 pounds =
`4\cdot\left((1)/(2.204)\right)`

= 1.814 kg

Hence, 4 pounds is equal to 1.814 kg.
