Comparing weights

Question

The normal weight of a 6 foot 2 inch man is between 150 and 190 pounds. To the nearest hundredth, what would such a person weigh in kilograms?

Answer 1

This is basically asking you to convert pounds to kilograms. 

1kg = 2.2lbs

 

On the other hand, this implies 

1lb = 0.45kg

 

Therefore, 

150lbs = 150 x 0.45 kg = 67.50kg to the nearest hundredth

 

190lbs = 190 x 0.45 kg = 85.50kg to the nearest hundredth.
