Answer 1

The volume in liters is 2.041165665 liter.

Explanation:

Given : Clare wants to mail a package that weighs
`4(1)/(2)` pounds.

To find : What could be its volume in liters ?

Solution :

We know that,

Pound (lb) is a unit of Weight used in Standard system.

Liter (l) is a unit of Volume used in Metric system.

To convert 1 pound into liter is

1 pound (lb) = 0.45359237 liter (l)

`4(1)/(2)` pounds in simpler fraction is
`(9)/(2)`

Converting into liter,

`(9)/(2)` pound (lb)=
`(9)/(2)* 0.45359237` liter (l)

`(9)/(2)` pound (lb) = 2.041165665 liter (l).

Therefore, the volume in liters is 2.041165665 liter.
