Question

Mary is ordering 3 bags of cat food from Canada. Each bag has a mass of 5 kg. To determine the shipping cost, Mary needs to know the total weight in pounds. What is the weight of the cat food in pounds? USE 1kg=2.2lb AND DO NOT ROUND ANY COMPUTATION

Answer 1

Answer:

The total weight of the cat food is 33lb

Explanation:

Since 1kg = 2.2lb, 5 kg are:

$5\cdot2.2lb=11lb$

This is the weight of one bag of cat food. Since we want to find the weight of 3 bags:

$11lb\cdot3=33lb$
