Question

A 6.0−ft person weighs 167 lb. Express this person's height in meters and weight in kilograms (1 lb = 453.6 g; 1 m = 3.28 ft).

Answer 1

`167*453.6=75751.2`

`75751.2/1000=75.7512`


`6/3.28=1.83`

Weight in kilograms: 75.75 kg
Height in meters: 1.83 m

Answer 2

Height is:

1.8293 m.

Weight is:

75.7512 kg

Explanation:

It is given that:

A 6.0−ft person weighs 167 lb.

Now, we have to express person's height in meters.

The conversion is:

1 m = 3.28 ft

i.e.

1 ft= 1/3.28 m.

Hence,

6 ft.= 6/3.28 m

6 ft.=1.8293 m.

Also,

1 lb = 453.6 g.

167 lb= 167×453.6 g

i.e.

167 lb= 75751.2 g

We know that:

1 kg=1000 g

i.e.

1 g= 0.001 kg

Hence,

75751.2 g=75.7512 kg
