Question

Explain the steps you would take to complete this conversion problem. 406lb/1 × 1kg/2.2lb × 1,000g/1kg

Answer 1

First, you would cancel out the lb in 2.2 lb, and cancel the kg in 1 kg. Then, you cross multiply. 46 x 1 x 1000 is 46000, you're just moving the decimal point. 1 x 2.2 x 1 would stay the same, so you would have 46000 over 2.2.
