There are 453.59 grams per pound. an infant weighs 6,577 grams. What is the weight of the infant in pounds and ounces?

Respuesta :

If the baby weighs 6577 grams, that translates to 14 pounds, 8 ounces in weight for the newborn.

Calculation:

Provided, 1 pound =  453.59 gms

the weight of a newborn = 6577 gms

Hence, 1 gm = 1/453.59 pound  

or, 6577 gms = 6577/453.59 pound

or, 6577 gms = 14.499 pounds ≈ 14.50 pounds

Now, we have to calculate that 0.50 pounds are how much ounce.

1 pound  = 16 ounces

So, 0.50 pounds = 8 ounces

Hence, 6577 gms = 14 pounds and 8 ounces

We know that 1 ounce = 28.35 gms

or, 1 gm = 1 / 28.35 ounce

So, when we measure the weight of a newborn baby we have to convert the grams to ounces.

So, 6577 gms = 6577/ 28.35 ounce

or, 6577 gms = 231.99 ounce ≈ 232 ounce

Therefore the solution is 14 pounds and 8 ounces.
