Sagot :

Conversion factor is the term that is to be multiplied to a variable when converting between units. The conversion factor is: [tex]2.20lbs /kg[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]54kg \to x\ lbs[/tex]

From standard unit of conversion:

[tex]1kg = 2.20lbs[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]54kg \to x\ lbs[/tex]

[tex]1kg = 2.20lbs[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]54kg \times 2.20lbs = xlbs \times 1kg[/tex]

Divide both sides by 1kg

[tex]54kg \times 2.20lbs /kg= xlbs[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]x = 54kg \times 2.20lbs /kg[/tex]

Hence, the conversion factor is: [tex]2.20lbs /kg[/tex]
