Answer:

The bicycle

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the bicycle = 14 kilograms

The weight of the dog = 30 pounds

To compare, we ensure that the two weights are in the same units.

$\begin{gathered} 1\; pound=0.45\; kilograms \\ \implies30\text{ pound }=0.45\; *30\operatorname{kg}=13.5\operatorname{kg} \end{gathered}$

We then have:

• The weight of the bicycle = 14 kilograms

,

• The weight of the dog = 13.5 kilograms

Since 14kg is greater than 13.5kg, the bicycle weighs more.
