  1. To convert 2.75 kilograms to grams, use the ratio 1,000 grams = 1 kilogram:

\[ 2.75 \text{ kilograms} \times 1,000 \text{ grams/kilogram} = 2,750 \text{ grams} \]

So, 2.75 kilograms is equal to 2,750 grams.


  1. To convert 10 liters to pints using the ratio 1 liter = 2.1 pints:

\[ 10 \text{ liters} \times 2.1 \text{ pints/liter} = 21 \text{ pints} \]

So, 10 liters is equal to 21 pints.


  1. To convert Jeff's height from centimeters to feet using the ratio 1 foot = 30.48 centimeters:

\[ \text{Height in feet} = \frac{183 \text{ centimeters}}{30.48 \text{ centimeters/foot}} \approx 6.0 \text{ feet} \]

Rounded to the nearest whole number, Jeff is approximately 6 feet tall.
