Express your answer numerically in kilograms.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.14 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Gourmet chocolate candy contains 7.00 g of dietary fat in each 22.7-g piece

That is 1 piece of candy weighs 22.7 g and contains 7.00 g of dietary fat

Converting the mass in pounds to kg

1 lb = 0.45 kg = 450 grams (1kg=1000g)

Number of pieces =
`(450)/(22.7g)=20pieces`

1 piece contains = 7 g of dietary fat

Thus 30 pieces would contain =
`(7)/(1)* 20=140g` of dietary fat

1 g = 0.001 kg

Thus 140 grams =
`(0.001)/(1)* 140=0.14kg`

Thus 0.14 kg of dietary fat are in a box containing 1.00 lb of candy.
