Answer:

3520 pounds

Explanation:

First, we have to find how many pennies equal 2.2 lbs

By seeing that 1 penny equals 4 grams, we can divide 4 into 1,000

By doing this we can find out how many pennies equals 2.2 lbs

It is 250 pennies per 2.2 lbs

Now, it wants 400,000 pennies

So we can do 400,000/250

Which is 1600

1600*2.2 is 3520

So the answer is 3520 pounds
