You take your cat to the vet, and 'it' weighs 9.5lbs. How much does your cat weigh in grams? Note that 1lb=0.45kg. Show all your work!

Sagot :

Answer:  4.275 kg

Work Shown

[tex]9.5 \ \text{lbs}*\frac{0.45 \ \text{kg}}{1 \ \text{lbs}} = 4.275 \ \text{kg}[/tex]

Explanation:

The conversion fraction [tex]\frac{0.45 \ \text{kg}}{1 \ \text{lbs}}[/tex] is set up so that the "lbs" (aka "pounds") units cancel out. The "kg" unit is the only thing left. The 9.5 multiplies with 0.45 to get 4.275

Note that 4.275 kg is an approximation because 1 pound doesn't equal 0.45 kg exactly. Instead it's more like 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg. But it's better to stick with the info that your teacher gave you.
