Answer 1

• South African has weight advantage by 0.674kg

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert both weights to grams.

South African;

1 kg = 1,000 grams

105kg = 105 * 1,000 grams

= 105,000 grams

American

453.592 g = 1 pound

230 pounds = 453.592 * 230

= ‭104,326 grams

Difference

= 105,000 - 104,326

= 674 grams

In kg:

= 674/1,000

= 0.674
