a newborn weighs 8 pounds 5 ounces. there ate 453.59 grams per pound. what is the infant's weight in grams?

Question

How to convert pounds into grams?

Answer 1

One method to solve the problem is to convert the baby's weight completely into pounds. There are 16 oz in 1 lb so the baby's weight would be 8 and 5/16 lbs or 8.3125 lbs.

 

Since we know 453.59 g = 1 lb, we can multiply 8.3125 lbs by 453.59 g. The lb units will cancel and leave you with an answer in g.

 

The answer is 3,770.4669 g.
