Answer 1

To convert 3.62 in/lb to cm/kg, multiply the inches by 2.54 and divide the pounds by 0.4536.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 3.62 in/lb to cm/kg, we need to convert both the units. Let's start with the inches to centimeters conversion:

1 in = 2.54 cm

So, 3.62 in = 3.62 * 2.54 cm = 9.185 cm

Next, we convert pounds to kilograms:

1 kg = 2.21 lb

So, 1 lb = 1/2.21 kg = 0.4536 kg

Therefore, 3.62 in/lb is equivalent to 9.185 cm/0.4536 kg.

Dividing 9.185 cm by 0.4536 kg gives us approximately 20.3 cm/kg.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 20.3 cm/kg.
