Josh goes to a hardware store to get seven large decorative rocks for his yard. He fills his loading cart completely to capacity with seven rocks.

Question

A) If each of the seven rocks weighs the same, how many kilograms is each rock?

B) How many pounds does each rock weigh?

Answer 1

7 rocks = 17465 grams

1 rock = 2495 grams

   1 kilogram = 1000 grams

1 rock = 2495\1000 kilograms

1 rock = 2.495 kilograms
