Question

A boy weighs 27 kilograms. How much does he weigh in pounds? Use the following conversion: kilogram is 2.2 pounds.

Answer 1

To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the weight in kilograms by the conversion factor, which is 2.2.

So, the boy weighs 27 kilograms * 2.2 pounds/kilogram = 59.4 pounds.

Therefore, the boy weighs 59.4 pounds.

Answer 2

Suppose Debra has 9.92 pounds of seed. If it takes 6.2 pounds of seed to plant one acre of grass, how many acres of grass can be planted?

Answer 3

To find out how many acres of grass can be planted, divide Debra's amount of seed (9.92 pounds) by the amount of seed needed to plant one acre of grass (6.2 pounds).

9.92 pounds / 6.2 pounds/acre = 1.6 acres.

Therefore, Debra can plant 1.6 acres of grass.
