Answer:

Micheal is heavier than Sara.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of Micheal, W = 104 pounds

Weight of Sara, W' = 44 kilograms

We know that the conversion formula from kilograms to pounds is given by :

1 kilograms = 2.2 pounds

1 pound = 0.453 kilogram

Weight of Micheal in kilograms is, W = 47.173 kilograms

It can be seen that the weight of Micheal is more than the Sara's weight. So, Micheal is heavier than Sara.
