Miguel is ordering 6 bags of cat food from Canada. Each bag has a mass of 7.5 kg. To determine the shipping costs, Miguel needs to know the total weight in pounds. What is the weight of the cat food in pounds? Use 1 kg = 2.2 lbs and do not round any computations.

Answer:

99 pounds

Explanation:

7.5×6=45kg

1kg=2.2lb and we have 45kg because this is direct proportion what you do to one side you havbe to do to the other

so 2.2lb×45 gives you 99 pounds
