Final answer:

5 kilograms of ground beef is enough to make the meatballs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if 5 kilograms of ground beef is enough to make the meatballs, we need to convert 10 pounds to kilograms.

There are 0.4536 kilograms in 1 pound. So, 10 pounds is equal to 10 x 0.4536 kilograms = 4.536 kilograms.

Since 5 kilograms is greater than 4.536 kilograms, then 5 kilograms of ground beef is enough to make the meatballs.

Answer: Yes. 5 kilograms is a little more than enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the conversion factor. 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds

We can round that to 2.2 for a question like this.

5 × 2.2 = 11 pounds
