To convert the weights of the tires from grams to pounds, you can use the conversion factor that 1 pound is equal to 453.592 grams.
For the full steel bead tire:
- Weight in grams = 800 grams
- Weight in pounds = \( \frac{800 \text{ grams}}{453.592 \text{ grams/pound}} \)
Calculating that:
\[ \frac{800}{453.592} \approx 1.761 \]
So, the weight of the full steel bead tire is approximately 1.76 pounds when rounded to two decimal places.
For the lighter wheel:
- Weight in grams = 700 grams
- Weight in pounds = \( \frac{700 \text{ grams}}{453.592 \text{ grams/pound}} \)
Calculating that:
\[ \frac{700}{453.592} \approx 1.543 \]
So, the weight of the lighter wheel tire is approximately 1.54 pounds when rounded to two decimal places.
Summary:
- Full steel bead tire: 1.76 pounds
- Lighter wheel tire: 1.54 pounds
