Question

Brian weighs 4.52 times as much as a 5-gallon bucket of water. What is the measure of Brian's weight in units of the weight of the 5-gallon bucket of water?

Answer 1

Brian weighs 79,491 kilograms.

Explanation:

Given that Brian weighs 4.2 times more than a 5 gallon bucket of water, to determine Brian's weight measured in units of weight, it comes from the following calculation:

1 liter of water = 1 kilo

1 liter of water = 0.26418 gallons

1 kilo = 0.26418 gallons

5 x 4.2 = 21

0.26418 = 1

21 = X

(21 x 1) / 0.26418 = X

79,491 = X

Therefore, Brian weighs 79,491 kilograms.
