A five kilogram sack of beefy bones dog food weighs 11 1/4 lbs.How much would a 1-kilogram sack weigh

Answer 1

The ratio of 5 kilograms to 1 kilogram is 5 to 1 (or 5/1). As a result, we can take the 11 1/4 lbs for 5 kilograms and divide by 5 (or multiply by 1/5) to find the weight of 1 kilogram:

11 1/4 can be written as an improper fraction as 45/4

Then 45/4 divided by 5 can be written as: 45/4 * 1/5

This is equivalent to 45/20 or 9/4 lbs.

9/4 lbs is equivalent to 2 1/4 lbs for the 1 kilogram bag.
