Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Multiply 128 by 178.


  • 1278 * 178

  • 22784

Step 2: Move the decimal places 3 places to the left.


  • 2278.4

  • 227.84

  • 22.784

Step 3: Round to the nearest tenth.

  • 22.784 ≈ 22.8

Therefore, the answer is 22.8 pounds.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
