Question

Rita is ordering 4 bags of cat food from canada. each bag has a mass of 2.5kg . to determine the shipping costs, rita needs to know the total weight in pounds. what is the weight of the cat food in pounds?

Answer 1

total weight in pounds = 22 lb

Explanation:

Let's first find out the total weight in kilograms.

total weight = 4 x 2.5 kg = 10 kg

The approximation for kilograms (kg) to pounds (lb) is 1 kg = 2.2 lb.

So if 1 kg is 2.2 lb, 10 kg is 10 times more.

10 kg = 10 x 2.2 lb = 22 lb
