1237 1/3 g is how many pounds ?

1 pound=453.59 g

1237.3333/453.59=2.72786 pounds, or about 2.73 pounds

Answer 2

Juan,

 

Each can has 6 gram of Protein

 

Adult male needs 58 g Protein per day, so number of cans per day is 58/6 = 9.67.

 

Each can is 128 grams. So grams of beans needed = 128*9.67 = 1237.3 grams

Now 1 lb = 453.6 grams

 

So 1237.3 grams = 1237.3/453.6 = 2.73 lbs.
