d) Swimming

Answer 1

Mrs. Roth can lift objects up to 22.5 kg. After converting weights, only the computer at 2.55 kg is within her lifting capability. The box of books, the statue, and the potted plant weigh more than her limit.

This correct answer is b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Understanding Weight and Mass Conversion

To find out which objects Mrs. Roth can lift, we need to convert the various measurements into kilograms to make a direct comparison to her lifting capacity of 22.5 kg.

• Box of books: 23,500 g = 23.5 kg (too heavy)
• Statue: 2,450,000 cg = 24.5 kg (too heavy)
• Computer: 2,550,000 mg = 2.55 kg (can lift)
• Potted plant: 22.55 kg (can lift, but it's over her capacity by just a bit)

So, Mrs. Roth can lift the computer which weighs 2.55 kg, but she cannot lift the box of books, the statue, or the potted plant as they all exceed her lifting limit of 22.5 kg.

This correct answer is b)
