Question

if 50Ib = 22.68 kg, what is 15/8y pounds in kilograms? PLZ help me I don't understand I will give the BRilenists answer but show work. thanks

Answer 1

I am not sure if the y after 15/8 was a typo but I am going to assume it is. 15/8 is the same as 1.875.

Answer 2

`(15)/(8)pounds` are
`0.85 kg`.

Explanation:

We have to transform from pounds to kilograms. To do that, we need a ration between both units, which is given
`50Ib = 22.68 kg`, then we just use the rule of three to transform, if
`50Ib = 22.68 kg`, how muck kilograms is
`(15)/(8)pounds`:

`x=(15)/(8)lb(22.68kg)/(50lb)=0.85kg`

Therefore,
`(15)/(8)pounds` are
`0.85 kg`.
