Question

kilograms?

Answer 1

Given:

2.2 pounds = 1 kilogram

Weight of Mary = 120 pounds.

To find:

The weight of Marry in kilograms.

Solution:

We have,

2.2 pounds = 1 kilogram

Using this conversion, we get

1 pound = $\dfrac{1}{2.2}$ kilogram

120 pound = $\dfrac{1}{2.2}\times 120$ kilogram

                  = $\dfrac{120}{2.2}$ kilogram

                  $\approx 54.54$ kilogram

Therefore, the weight of Mary is about 54.54 kilograms.
