Question

You need to make mashed potatoes, so you buy a 19 pound bag of Russet potatoes from the grocery store. To the nearest tenth of a kilogram, how many kilograms of potatoes are in the bag? Take a kilogram to be equivalent to 2.21 pounds.

Answer 1

8.6 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

1 Kg = 2.21 pound

2.21 pound = 1 kg

1 pound = 1 / 2.21 kg

19 pound = 19 / 2.21 kg = 8.59 kg

By rounding to nearest tenth, it is equal to 8.6 kg.
