Answer 1

`\begin{array}{ccll} lbs&kgs\\ \cline{1-2} 1 & 0.45\\ 150& kg \end{array} \implies \cfrac{1}{150}~~=~~\cfrac{0.45}{kg} \implies kg\approx(150)(0.45)\implies \stackrel{ kilograms }{\boxed{kg\approx 67.5}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{array}{ccll} meters&feet\\ \cline{1-2} 1 & 3.281\\ m& 6 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{1}{m}~~=~~\cfrac{3.281}{6} \implies 6=\approx 3.281m \\\\\\ \cfrac{6}{3.281}\approx m\implies \stackrel{ meters }{\boxed{1.83\approx m}}`
