lighter:1.54 pounds

Answer 2

Weight of full steel bead tire=1.76 pounds

weight of lighter wheel=1.54 pounds.

Explanation:

it is given that:

The weight of a full steel bead tire is approximately 800 grams.

lighter wheel weighs only 700 grams.

Now we are given conversion that:

There are 453.592 grams in one pound.

Hence, 1 gram=1/453.592 pounds.

Hence, weight of a full steel bead tire is:

`(800)/(453.592)pounds=1.76pounds`

Also weight of lighter wheel in pounds is:

`(700)/(453.592)pounds\\\\=1.54 pounds`
