Answer 2

Option C.

Explanation:

Given information:

Length of pipe = 12 ft

Weight = 5 pounds per foot

We need to find the weigh in kilograms per meter.

We know that

1 pound = 0.454 kilograms

1 foot = 0.305 meters

Using these conversions we get

5 pound = 5 × 0.454 = 2.27 kilograms

`(5)/(1)lb/ft=(2.27)/(0.305)kg/m`

`5lb/ft=7.442623kg/m`

`5lb/ft\approx 7.44kg/m`

Therefore, the weigh in kilograms per meter is 7.44.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
