Question

you are an obstetrician and deliver a baby that weighs 3744 grams. before you report to the parents you need to covert the babies weight to pounds and ounces. (look at the example on page 245 for guidance) a 6 lb 12 oz b 7 lb 8 oz c 8 lb 4 oz d 9 lb 2 oz temperature conversions convert between degrees fahrenheit and celsius. do not label the units. round to the nearest whole degree.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert grams to pounds

We know that \(1\) pound \( = 453.592\) grams.
Let \(x\) be the weight in pounds. Then \(x=\frac{3744}{453.592}\approx8.25\) pounds.

Step2: Separate pounds and ounces

The whole - number part is the number of pounds. So, the number of pounds \(lb = 8\) (since \(8.25\) has a whole - number part of \(8\)).
The decimal part \(0.25\) is converted to ounces. We know that \(1\) pound \(=16\) ounces.
If \(y\) is the number of ounces, and \(y = 0.25\times16\)

$$y=4$$

Answer:

C. \(8\) lb \(4\) oz
